Cold and wet day but set about the 300tdi auto;

Replaced the three the power steering hoses, for nice flexible non leaking ones
Advanced the timing 1mm (made a noticeable difference)
Changed the ac lower bearing for one which wasn't wrecked

But this horror was the best bit..........

current config from left to right is , EGT, fuel/air,oil pressure, oil temp and water temp, 2 additional charge gauges for the main dash to match and need to get matching fuel and boost gauges..... very good price off a seller called McGill motorsport on ebay, fully electronic so no capillary fun n games, came with all necessary adaptors, senders , probes etc

what they call sundim glass so almost black until ignition on, they also do a nice range of plasma gauges the same but I liked the 3/4 sweet needles

cheers steve

Drive it to my unit with no clutch over the weekend. All good fun. Awaiting new parts then time to drop the gear box out and see the damage :/
