You can get a tidy matching pod that mounts on top of the dash.

i was thinking a few pvc 90 corners and mount them down the bottom of the pillar but i guess my question is are these guages really used that much

[JohnR]

Google Mud Stuff. They have a great pod the mini one that would easily hold 3 gauges. Their nice and easy to deal with.

Hey mate I have a Defender with the same motor

I have a TM-2 (head temperature), EGT and a Boost Gauge

The first two are a must I reckon, I also have an Engine Saver (Low coolant alarm)

If you have fiddled with your fuel pump then a EGT is a must, I was once told never to run a Tdi anywhere over 700 degrees. Occasionally I hit 600 or so and know I need to start backing off on the loud pedal

The boost gauge was fitted by the fella who owned the Landy before me. I would have to say I don't think I'd get one. I'm not really sure of the point, fair enough it's interesting to watch but what else do you do with it? :p

Head temperature is good for if you thermostat doesn't open

My EGT is a Thermoguard unit, sold by a member on this forum

The TM-2 and Engine saver I sourced from Davy on this forum again another great bloke to deal with

Auto trans temp guage is good but you need to know your box also.
I have one and I do drive by it. I know when the temp in the auto is starting climb and then either have to up the speed a little or back it off. Heat is what kills your auto so knowing how it likes to run is worth it.

As per previous post, here's the gauges!!
Just arrived! :) :) :)
