TD5 REV gauge for defender
« on: November 13, 2011, 10:58:20 PM »
Has any one any advice on a cheap solution to a rev gauge for a td5 defender , i have been on ebay and demon tweeks and have noticed the gauges are not compatible with 5 cylinder engines and looked at marine gauges which have a rev limit of 3000 well below the TD5's limit. I'm not interested in buying the devon 4x4 one at ?273.07 which was found in the heritage model with a white background. ;D

a td5 doesnt have a "w" terminal on the alternator, the rev counter is fed from the ecu  ;)
