If you need anymore help or if you can help me just post here.

Already with one. What did you wire your gauge to for the illumination?

I used the earthing point behind glovebox/dash but no live yet.

Done that now, used ilumination line but mine was orange but it lead to another colour. Someone before me has mucked around with the wiring.
