Thanks for that Nick, and there was me thinking it would be much simpler
than using an old mechanical gauge.......

Cheers

As no one else has replied - 

The Defender will have an instrument voltage regulator and the old 2
1/4
probably will not. What is needed depends if the gauge is one that can
be
connected directly to the battery or one that needs a regulated feed.

If it is an aftermarket one it would probably work with simply a
switched
feed and earth to the gauge plus the connecting wire and a sender to
match
the gauge.

If the other type would mean fitting the regulator, switched feed and
earth
to the regulator, wire from regulator to the gauge, earth for the gauge
and
the matching sender with a connecting wire. 

Your choice if you fit the sender as a replacement for the oil
pressure
switch (bad practice) or if you get an adaptor which lets both be
fitted
simultaneously. All the firms that sell these things sell every type
of
adaptor.

Nick.
