I have followed Retroanaconda's helpful guide to installing TD5 gauges and warning lights in my 90 V8. The temperature gauge wiring change explained in the guide works perfectly with the V8 if you use the green sender.
Mines slightly different to the norm as it's got RRC V8 engine, fuel injection and transmission. I'm running the Borg Warner viscous transfer box so was at a bit of a quandary as to which speed transducer to fit. I intially tried a YBE100530 and found the speedo ran exactly double what I was actaully doing, I figured I had the wrong transducer and needed an RRC unit but with a bit of research, I bit the bullet and bought another YBE100530 but a genuine green one from Land Rover. This time my speedo is running exactly the same as the Sat Nav (I prevously fitted a blue drive gear to go with my big wheels). I have heard others say stay away from the pattern version transducer, my experience tells me to agree with them.
My next issue is and this is where i would like some advice, my low fuel warning light (which comes off the speedo now) glows slightly when I have fuel, but as the needle approaches the red, the light goes off. Exactly the opposite of what you would expect from a low level warning light.
Is this an issue that other owners have had with the TD5 dash and is perhaps a problem with the speedo or the warning light panel I bought second hand, or have I messed up this part of the wiring and got something round the wrong way?
Thanks
