It's not difficult to fit in chap, you'd need to get a hose t piece for it to connect into the 340, but those can be got from fish shops etc

I finally got around to doing this, it was pretty easy.
Now I just need to get the vacuum stud out as it's still in the manifold, does anybody know what size it is? 11mm was slightly too big so started to round the nut

Just had a look at the SE it has the vacuum stud and the rubber pipe already going through to the back of the gauges so I don't need to remove it from the GLE.

So I've put the gauges in my 360 but the loom for the outside temp sensor to connect to isn't there as far as I can see. Even with the bumper off I can't see any wires going into the bumper trumpet.

Now I couldn't see the pipe for the economy gauge to connect to behind the gauge cluster. So I went to the engine bay and pulled it a little and it has come off of something. It was connected to something under the heater box, I was wondering if it is important for something or if I can remove it and fit the pipe for the economy gauge?

Perhaps someone cut it off? As the pipe is cut in two and joined by a little white connector.

The pic is a bit blurred but the pipe is connected to the little brass bit in the middle of the manifold and the blurred black bit at the top is the end of the pipe. It should go through the bulkhead with the wiring for the gauges.
