Which would you think are the most important gauges to have in the three gauge spaces next to the speedo ?
I have fuel, boost, temp, volts and a clock.
ta : )
 
fuel, boost and temp....clock is why watches were invented, and volts...if you can't start the car or the lights are dimmer than usual, time to check the battery!
 
Boost Temp and Fuel then, when did you last see a landy driver wearing a watch ?
And volt gauge is useful to see that battery is charging properly.
l like gauges
 
Volt gauge stopped my alternator bursting into flames when it was overcharging as it seized up.
 
Mine has a fuel gauge and a temperature gauge and that's all I need. I could do with something to fill the third hole though.
 
I dont think the fuel gauge is more important than the temp gauge so l will move temp next to the speedo.
Have to decide on the next two holes so is it boost and volts or boost and fuel or even volts and boost ?
I'm going to fit five gauges in all, two in the middle dash somewhere maybe next to the tilt meter thingy.
 
You don't fancy ones that indicate "running costs" and/or "repair costs to date" then? :D:D:D
My wife ignores the gauges and warning lights altogether, a red light coming on simply means that you need to slow down a bit, that is of course ok until things stop altogether.
 
I would put temp, fuel, volts on the dash in front of you, and put boost and clock in a centre console. I have a rev counter as well so my dash goes speedo, revs, temp, fuel and then in the centre console it goes clock, boost, volts, but the only one I use with any regularity of those is the volts, the boost is more to diagnose problems and fill the extra hole rather than being usefull day to day.
 
I have a two inch rev counter but it goes to 7000 rpm so not much use on a diesel.
centre console is going so gauges will have to go on the bottom rail somehow. Dont want it too fancy when l sell : )
 
Then theres always the three in one gauges, that means you can have 15 running. Might need a 16th on the extra battery ;)
