It does but the sender in the TD42s has a rep for being unreliable - warning light works fine and the needle moves up as soon as you give even a little revs. Reads fine when cold, it's just as she heats up it stops registering properly. Even running at revs she'll intermittently drop sometimes then randomly come back up. Like I said, classic TD42 thing.

Weedave had the same classic sender issues I have and he's sent me a brand new OEM sender to fit but I was waiting to do that when I change the oil. She's due now but weather has been mince for streetside working and I've been busy with other things.

The OEM one now has a wee breather pipe and Dave said it sorted him right out
