I've a few things to finish off, like the relocation of the buttons. Once I've done that I will do a write up on my blog.
I was really surprised the gauge screen fitted so perfectly. http://defender90xs.blogspot.co.uk/ |

I read your temp guage install the other day and wondered if this was possible, you've proved me right!

Looks great.
What a shame Td5's aren't OBDII compliant. |

I asked on here recently if anyone had managed to do this, I have the ultragauge and I am still having difficulty getting it to show the info that I want, egt, turbo boost, oil temp, fuel consumption ect not the factory settings If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

And also how come you have info display on your rev counter ??? If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

This is a bit more straight forward than the Check Temp install. It does require a bit of soldering, but nothing too difficult and no special parts like the Check Temp. http://defender90xs.blogspot.co.uk/

You could very easily go into business with this mod - installing a temp guage and ultra guage using a postal service - I for one would bite your hand off.... My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk

In terms of the Ultra Gauge - I'd be happy to do this modification for others.
Having a scrap instrument cluster to have ready modified so it can be turned around in a day would be good. I wonder if any of the Forum sponsors have a broken cluster gathering dust. The Check Temp isn't as tidy to install, but if I get a spare cluster I could look at the possibility of doing it differently. http://defender90xs.blogspot.co.uk/ |
