Finally got my autogauges fitted today and it was a long cold process. Custom car developments(middlesex) were my prefered contact as they did such a good job with the Cat and Remap so they were the lucky ones i picked,lol.

As i had nowhere to be i stayed to watch and learn. first of all the gauges didnt come with long enough wire to get to the sender from the gauge so extra red wire was used. After removing the cover around the dipstick area it was simple to get to the allan bolt thingy off where the sender goes into.
Rest of job was boost gauge pipe for the boost gauge and then finally connecting the wires to ignition etc on the inside.

Finally after a few hours it was done and they looked great![B)]

Sorry i only have a crapy mobile phone picture at moment will post more tomorrow in daytime. They are the ones on the front page of this thread.

Oh and Sorry to butt in on this thread didnt want to start another similar thread. :rolleyes:

Wow i was out for about 30mins this evening temp outside 0 degrees and below. My oil didnt go past 80 degrees is this normal? i wasnt really punching it as there may be ice. Never knew oil temp took so much longer to heat up than the water. Im sure though when the oil hits 70-80 it must be okay to punch it if need be??:shrug:

Rik, it really is dead easy.

Have a hunt for Moff's guide, as his helped me all the way thru.

I would advise running "extension" leads for the power / lighting bits on the back of the gauges, as the wire they come with is just too short IMO.

If Skipton was a little closer I'd offer to help.

im sure i could do it
its finding the time, and the urge
I've noticed id probably have to wire some of the cables from whichever gauge goes at at top into gauge below and then into headlight switch (not sure if this would give them enough V to power them though). mehr

i turned 25 last week, im not as young as i used to be
the cold hurts my hip
