[quote="varleym"]Just been looking at which oil pressure and voltmeter gauges to fit on the 90. Don't want/need to go OTT so something like VDO seem to be reasonably priced. Anyone got any experience of these, good or bad?
Also, it seems that mechanical (capillary?) oil pressure gauges are more accurate than electronic ones but a bit harder to fit, although again I suspect that the difference is probably quite small and not really worth getting too worked up about. Again - any views?
Finally - other than the normal Google trawl, any good/bad experience of where to get them from?
I have an oil pressure gauge I bought for my disco but never got around to fitting it
Uses an alectric sender which fits onto a T piece fitted on the oil pressure switch, the gauge is connected by a wire,(leaves the oil pressure switch in place) will also fit 200TDI
I also have another gauge which measures the pressure via a pipe into the back which feeds the engine oil
If you want them the electric one is £12 for complete kit inc T piece all wiring, backlight & instructions etc the other is £4 but you will need to make up the pipe
