What I would give to have a garage that large.
Long term I'm looking at replacing both the chassis and bulkhead with galvanised ones.
+1 would love a nice big garage

ssshhh £60 inc postage for the dash binnacle with all four clocks in it and the warning lights. Just need a set of the connectors so I've PMd PaulMC.

Cool I've got a set in me shed saved for a rainy day
You'll need a speed transducer as well I believe.

I know about the transducer and how to fit it in to a 300TDi so it's just a matter of getting that transducer and the connectors. Eventually I want to build a complete be-spoke dash so having the speedo electronic will make that a lot easier. I want speedo, revs, 2 x fuel gauges, clock, current and voltage for each alternator/battery, temp for water, temp and pressure for oil, boost gauge and EGT gauges so will need a bit of space. I'm a control freak

Ah fairy snuff, Not that many gauges then

I could probably get away with a switch to switch between the two ammeters and volt meters and possible the fuel gauges but to be honest set out with the speedo and rev counter and then 6 small gauges either side 2x3 might look ok. The clock can go elsewhere. Alternatively I can stick a 4 clock pod above the normal binnacle and another above the central dash which would give me 11 without looking silly. Then the clock in the central dash.

Well, a successful day.... Electric window plug arrived from PaulMc and now electric windows both working, rear washer working, dual battery setup all working and door trims in place.....
I've just bought a second TD5 speedo now off the charity thread. I asked about it before getting this one but now will have both. It means I can have a mess with reseting the mileage etc without risk of ruining the only one I have......
I can also design a circuit to alter the frequency of pulses coming in from the sender and going out to the speedo. This should allow a perfectly accurate speedo even with different sized tyres.
