I've got one, what do you need to know?

As far as I remember....

The two temp sensors are self explanatory as they'll only plug into the temp sender cables (small white plugs, black and red wires I think)
Fuel gauge wire goes to one side of the fuel level sender, the other side of the sender should be earthed
Tacho wire went to my Megasquirt tacho output
Speed sensor will only plug into the speed sensor connector
power connector needs +12v, switched 12v and ground (red, green and black I think)

I'm not near the car at the moment, but let me know if I can help and I'll happily check the wiring at the weekend.
Tom

Sussed some of it out, The red wire for the tacho has a black wire in the same outer this is the fuel wire. The 2 red & blacks have the same connectors on them, 1 is for engine temp the could be oil temp?

Sounds about right, I've used one temp sender for water temp (thread is correct for the lower sender position in the Zetec thermostat housing) and the other I have used for the oil temp after drilling and tapping the oil cooler sandwich plate to take the other sender.

The real pain in the arse is that if you set the speedo to mph, the temp is in degrees F.
Temp in degrees C is only available if the speedo is reading in kph.
Bloody annoying, and I wish I'd known that before I bought it.
