Update - the guy has just sent me a PM over on SN, he says that he thought he told me at the time that he was waiting for his mechanic to strip the wires etc but that it could have been someone else he told as he was getting a lot of calls and stuff that day.
Anyway he says when this happens he will forward the rest of the bits on so I shall wait with my fingers crossed and carry on getting excited about having the gauges fitted!!
I feel so much better now
Thank you all for your help, info and stuff it made me realise what a great community this is over here on SES. Awesome!
