  1. I changed the complete set to TD5 ones, speedo is correct and the fuel gauge is reasonably accurate so I haven't needed to modify that. You may have just pointed out my problem then - I didn't realise the temp gauge went through the speedo, I thought it was a straight positive feed. So in short, I need to put in a new 12v feed from the fuse box and see if that solves it. Fridge, hold off on the resistors...
  2. Legend. I have shorted it and the needle does move, so now need to work on the temp being displayed. Explain like I'm five, though - what's the best selection of values? 38.47 ohms is 100c and 50 is 197.29, would that be enough?
  3. Sorry Jeremy, my poor attempt at humour. Interesting stuff that they're pursuing this though, not sure if it's a departure from their mission statement or a way to broaden the business to make the core product (Grenadier) more viable.
  4. Because INFE (see above), this continues. I have finally been able to get the sender out and replace with a standard temporary one (threw my old one away when fitting new, like an idiot). The sender is the correct part number for the gauge, so there's no obvious win there. I have been given a table to check the resistance against by chucking it in a cup of just-boiled water. I think it's roughly where it should be, which is not what I wanted to find out. Is there any easy way to test te gauge isn't at fault? I'm thinking of rigging a very simple circuit up to the alternator but it's effort and I don't know if there's any easy way to check that others know?
  5. Those are outstanding, how great to have this kind of content on the forum.
  6. That's what I was referring to with "hi lift". 🙂
  7. Would you get enough swing on the handle for a hi lift underneath? Unless you're attacking from the top... I found liberal application of grease helped slide mine back in. So to speak.
  8. I get the idea that more "stuff" = more "stuff" to go wrong, but even in an overlanding situation I can't see how your radio or heated rear screen breaking is going to leave you stranded. The only windows I've ever had go u/s were manual winders.... I'd rather have comforts for even a short while than not at all. The idea of a completely stripped out car for the sake of it just seems unnecessary to me.
  9. Seems they're still doing that, in a fashion:
  10. That video can't be right, where's the loud clicking noises that you can't track down? 😡
  11. I was going to say it's not cheap, but surely even a cosmetic restoration plus vehicle cost can't leave much out of 12k.
  12. I did hijack one of Nak's threads last year with a couple of single DIN alternatives with bigger/double DIN screen sizes I'd tried. I don't know if it was all that useful or interesting but I did end up with a decent enough screen.
  13. What's the mpg?
