Oil Temperature Gauge

The oil temperature gauge did not work since we bought the car, 1998 MGF. Tested the connection at the instrument and found no 12v power going to it. Replaced blown #17 fuse under the dash and it is working now along with a new/old replacement clock! Was a bit hard to pull out the instruments without removing the whole center dash, but I was able to do it removing the air vent and undoing the 4 screws. The temperature needle move very slowly, getting to about 90. Reading the forum, seems normal. To the next project now……
