Hi,

To all the electrical gurus. I've just picked up a set of VDO gauges for my Isuzu County and was wondering is it a simple swap out for the fuel guage ? I'm not sure if the stock Land Rover sender will work with the VDO guage ?

Cheers,

Mark

You need one with 280 to 33 Ohm range.

Would it be the same for a new, replacement fuel tank? I replaced a corroded tank on my 87 County and used the sender it came with, now 1/4 tank is closer to empty on the original gauge, based in mileage driven after fillup.

Cheers, don't suppose anyone knows the stock sensor resistance range ?

330 to 13. The 240 to 33 VDO gauges work really well with the stock senders. I’ve used them on many Defenders.
