Gromit Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 After pondering an EGT gauge for a while I finally got this: from Landyonline in South Africa. You can plug a variety of senders into it: K or J EGT probe Oil Temp Pressure (selectable Oil/Manifold/fuel/boost/aux) Coolant Temp Coolant level ETG screen - the probe is just sitting in the engine compartment until I fit it to the manifold Battery voltage and hour meter 2 types of inclinometer I was curious if it would interface directly with the coolant level sensor out of the Range Rover PRC7925 The sensor has a reed switch which has a high resistance when closed. To help it, I grounded the sensor to the same point as the gauge. Well, when you do this: after 5 seconds it beeps and does this: Perfect B) It also stores all maximum values and you can set max/min alarm points for EGT temp, oil pressure etc. It's backlit and easy to read. Some of the setup screens are a bit small Mounted (No connection with Landyonline, other than a happy customer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 http://www.landyonline.co.za/workshop/engi...mentgauges.html http://www.landyonline.co.za/workshop/pricelist.html lots of rand, but i dont know how many £'s off the top of my head or how many £'s it might cost to land one on these fair shores. i daresay gromit can answer looks good, not sure if i should go for one of these or one of the cheaper yankee ones with only egt.

Gromit Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Cost 180e, about 124STG, for the gauge, probe and postage to Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoSS Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Ahh thats very nice & not a bad price.

Guest WALFY Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 If it was a 52mm gauge it would be perfect. Not sure I have somewhere for it to go . Otherwise I'd be on the phone tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Come on Si - I want one too! I'm in the process of doing a deal for some - a swap in fact! The cost looks promising, but I don't know yet how much import duty and shipping I'm going to get stung with! If you can already buy them over here for £100 - the trade price with VAT comes to about £95! Add shipping and duty and I'd have to sell them at a loss! Obviously, the price will not be hiked, but it will be realistic for both of us. I'll keep you all posted with what and when. I'm only bringing in the small square variant - I think the other one looks ugly! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 The other one is easier to fit and can fit above the speedo on a Defender. If I were to fit one that would be the one I would go for. Also the readout is bigger and easier to read. As I have had a boost gauge and EGT for years I don't really feel the need to change. Oh, and I also have an alarm with a level switch. This last is the most important. But as you can see Brian and I feel that these things are important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Interesting, how many actual inputs does it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Interesting, how many actual inputs does it have? From memory: EGT Coolant level switch Coolant temp Oil Temp Switched Oil Pressure Pressure (fuel, manifold, turbo etc.) There's also a remote alarm output for buzzers/lights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoSS Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have just recieved an EMS-2. I will do a write-up asap as promised. In short it has the following (simultanious) inputs: (with programmable alarms on all) - EGT - Oil (or fuel or air) Pressure display - Oil Pressure switch (alarm) - Water temperature - Water level switch - Battery volts other features - roll/pitch display - relay output (can for example cut engine on roll over) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 other features- roll/pitch display - relay output (can for example cut engine on roll over) plus engine hours. It also tells you when your TDi is running, cause the inclinometer jumps randomly from 0 to 1 degrees all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAttrill Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 As you can see, it was originally made for microlight aircraft which is why is has the roll/pitch and the hour meter. In theory you can now service on time rather than on mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
