landypc Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Dear all, I want to fit some additional gauges to my 2004 XS 90 Td5. I want to shift the gauges over and fit a rev counter next to the speedo. I also want to fit a turbo boost gauge, any ideas on where to mount the boost gauge and clock once its space has been taken?

Godlykepower Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I use a Croytec gauge pod, which sits on top of the dash where the ashtrays goes - it hold 3 gauges. I would fit the tachometer next to the speedometer, and at the same time replace the standard water temp gauge with a more accurate VDO water temp gauge. Your existing dash gauges can be relocated to the dash Pod, and any spaces that needed to be filled, can be done so with a useful gauge such as a Ammeter or Voltmeter, to allow you to monitor your batteries condition.

landypc Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Juma, I have been looking at Croytec. They sell a VDO water temp gauge, do you know if this is a direct swap with the standard Land Rover gauge? landypc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlykepower Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ralph, that must be quite an old photo! What with a mere 374000 miles on the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yep, Sept 2006 IIRC, now 414709 on the speedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi110 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I use the Croytec pod in my 110 with VDO gauges for volts and oil pressure. Croytec don't supply a VDO boost gauge, so offer a Smiths one instead, as below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
