Re: TM 2 temp gauge help please,
There's a big rubber grommet just in front of the gear selector under the cubby hole. You can cut a hole in that and feed some convoluted trunking or a piece of hose pipe thru which you can feed wires. All the wiring for my 3 coolant alarms, cruise control and LPG is routed this way.
Here's a photo. The metal pieces are behind the plastic panels under the centre cubby hole. You can see the black trunking poking out where it passes thru.

Re: TM 2 temp gauge help please,
My last Bongo..V6... Had a total of 6 coolant and temp alarms.
1. Standard Low Coolant Alarm
2. High Coolant Alarm
3. TM-2 Tempreture Alarm ( under evaluation for a V6 )
4/5.The CUBE Twin temp alarm ( monitoring each cylinder head )
6. 'I Alert'coolant temp alarm with sensor within the top hose.
Admittedly some of these were so customers could be shown what was available.
Now available is :-
Standard Low Coolant Alarm
Tm-2 temp alarm
Combination of both the above.
TM-4 single and twin sensor temp alarm
TM-1 temp alarm
Go to website below for full details....this is now under the control of my daughter Jo

Blimey...
I knew coolant and the Bongo have had there differences - but TM2 and 4, wow that must light up like an 80's stack system
