Doesn't matter which way round, won't make any difference. The sender for the guage is in the coolant manifold, the one with the spade connector. Personally I would use the 28 rather than 30ohm one, but try it and see.
Cheers,

the reason i cant remeber which one i got is when i got them from maplins the dont do a 28 ohm one only 27 or 30!! after speaking to a vehicle electrition he said it would litterally be about 2mm difference on the gauge?? but cheers for your help ill go warm the soldering iron up!!!
