Cornish Rattler Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi guys Over the weekend we fitted a center gauge panel over the original center gauge panel which incudes a GPS speedo, a re-located boost gauge ( 200tdi ) a USB socket ( twin ) an EGT gauge and an LED Volt gauge, been waiting for the Volt gauge to arrive hence why i've just posted the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Where did you get the GPS speedo from? Is it quick to attain a signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrover17H Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Should we be concerned? I mean, we care. It starts with something seemingly innocent, you know - a few gauges, in er... blue. A few weeks later it's a farm-jack. Then there's the f**k-off roof-rack. Next comes the slow creep of the umpteen jerry-cans. The mahoosive towel-rail for a football-stadium of spot-lights? A sheet of "I was never confused" chequer-plate - strictly to vertical-panels, mind... Finally comes 'The Hat'. You know the one. The signs are there. I worry, we worry. This can happen to anyone. We're a caring sharing lot here, we ask because we care. Lest we forget... The Gospel according to St. Phillip of Sterndale.

Cornish Rattler Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Took the landy out for a run today to test the new gauges and they all worked fine and checked to see how fast it would go and it topped out at 90 mph but my cruising speed is 75 mph so quite pleased with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a GPS speedo - think we have the same model and I have been pleased with mine. I found the speedo cable securing screw had been sheared and so fitting a GPS speedo was the better option compared with taking out and dismantling the g'box to drill out the stud. I'm pleased with mine and will be fitting one to my kitcar build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
