Hi Rob

We sourced ours armed with the knowledge that it is the same fit as one 
for a Rover Metro, but that its temperature is different. We discovered 
that although the Volvo 760 has a completely different switch, the 
Renault 30 does in fact use the same one. If it's good enough for that 
car, it's good enough for the DeLorean. You're right about the gauges, 
they're all different but the fans always come on below the halfway mark
