Driving at 100ph, 40 degree ambient (yes, it's cooled down around here), noticed driving to Burketown it ran slightly hotter, we had a fair headwind, tailwind home & slightly cooler running?
Turbo boost cruising at 100 stayed between .5 & .7, got up to 1.7 under hard acceleration.
Volts were 13.5 or slightly above.
I didn't go into the other pages because I was driving & the thing was sitting on the centre console.

I also cleared faults which were multiple 3 amigos & 1 X turbo over boost.

I think the Temp readings are OK? Turbo boost I have no idea & volts seem all good.

BTW can you move the gauges to different screens on the Nanocom? Road speed & RPM seem useless.

Anyway, nice drive, kids had a swim in the Nicholson & I got to play with the Nancom equipped D2a for a bit.

Several options for mounting. I use the new "cover" and clip in the Nanocom rivetted onto an angle bracket under the right hand ashtray. Have a pic somewhere on this site if that helps.
Temps and volts very normal, and also I think turbo boost (about the same as mine anyway). I set my high coolant temp alarm to 105, but many do it at 100 or so.
No, unfortunately individual subscreens on each page are not moveable - I've already asked Colin, as have others, and too much required to change.
Cheers

Start planning for a replacement turbo boost solenoid. The small solenoid with three hoses just under the where the top radiator hose is attached to the head.
Not overly expensive, and easy to replace.

Check out my thread mate
I asked few questions about all the readings and got some really great info from the guys
Nanocom readings
Nanocom readings

Well I got my D2 back from the workshop today after this sorry saga Td5 a little down on power and lumpy idle from start

Long story short. Dealer made a mess of replacing a supposedly cracked head with a turner head.

Thus far it seems OK but you can bet that I'll be keeping a VERY close eye on the oil level.

Drove to Cooma towing the camper went in the motorkhana and the trials track also did the self guided observation tour did the grand parade hooked the camper up and drove back home no issues what so ever[thumbsupbig].
