if its the gauge from halfords, youll have the following wires on the gauge:

RED - battery +
Yellow - Lighting 12v
Black - Earth

then 3 poles on the back of the gauge

+ :Battery +
- :Earth
S :To the G pole on the sender

The sender unit itself has 2 poles on the top

G - Goes to S on the back of the gauge
WK - Goes to earth

You can either buy and adapter to convert the thread in the oil filter housing to 1/8 27NPT thread from what i believe will be an M10x1 thread, or you can buy a tap and tap the hole out to a 1/8 27NPT thread.

All the feeds for power can be taken from the back of the lighting switch, and then just ground the gauge to a part of the chassis...

That could help with finding the right wires on the back of the lighht plug
