Tacho for td5

[TheEntertainer]

Gents where is the best place to buy a tacho 52mm vdo type for the defender td5's?

I'm sure you could get one locally, but if not:

YAE100790 TACHOMETER HEAD UNIT TD5 | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series (http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/13479/YAE100790-TACHOMETER-HEAD-UNIT-TD5.html'search=tacho&page=1)

I have bought stuff from this mob before - no dramas.

The exchange rate is pretty good too.

I think I paid about $200 8 years ago.

even cheaper here:

Defender--Electrical (http://www.britishparts.co.uk/.sc/ms/cat/Defender--Electrical/2)

Haven't dealt with this mob myself , but plenty have.

having had the disco to watch... i know what its doing and how hard its working, however its an auto.... so hides a lot... just want to see it... so i can not hammer it.

By the way... the vdo part number would be best for me as airsat havent got a clue!

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for one that is a bit larger than the 52mm, but all the VDO ones I can find are 4-6-8 cyl... (specifically these ones (http://www.egauges.com/vdo_mult.asp?Type=Tachometer&Series=Vision&Units=E))

Is there anything I'm missing? will they work with a Td5?

Cheers!

I have used this mob a bit

YAE100790 TACHOMETER HEAD UNIT TD5 | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series (http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/13479/YAE100790-TACHOMETER-HEAD-UNIT-TD5.html'search=tacho&page=1)

It's not that cheap though, $180 + shipping. :(

Do a google search for the part number ( YAE100790 ) you may be able to get it cheaper.:angel:

From memory Land Rover charged me $200 to fit one in 2001 so I would expect now you will pay $150 to $200 ( or more ) for the part alone..

I got my TD5 tacho from this mob. www.croytec.co.uk (http://www.croytec.co.uk)

Not cheap though at about GBP130 plus postage.

Came with a "loom" which you don't really need and instructions which are essential if you haven't fully researched fitting it.

If you get your TD5 tacho from someone else, I'm happy to post a copy of the Croytec instructions to you if you need them (and a ECU connector pin and short length of wire which will also help). PM me if you want help..

Hi Guys,

I got one from a mob called Lowtension.com in UK a few years ago.

Still have all the fitting info here but no info on actual tacho other than it is a VDO
I think they had them specially callibrated for the 5 cyl cost about 50 quid
