    Fitting a taco

    Hi, has any one fitted a taco to their series 3 2.2.5 Diesel LWB, if so how did you do it?

    1: is there a pulse wire somewhere on the alternator or is there a gear somewhere ie off the cam or fuel pump.

    2: where did you purchase one and what type.

    Any help would be great

    cheers
    Will.

    Hi there sleepy I was wondering how your ser3 was going looked great in the photos and sounded like you had a great trip home.

    yea a taco would be great as it is hard to know if the motor is reving of its nut or if its got plenty left as the noise puts you off a bit, aye.

    Not so much the noise as the raw onions and Salsa.

    Sorry

    Yeah the S3 is good - few small issues to address before roadworthy certifcate - Need a new heater and few other bits and bobs.

    I have a great spot to warm the taco's just on the transmission tunnel.

    Now that we have the mexican food sorted, can anyone tell willvine and me how we can fit a tachometer??

    A "diesel tiny tach". Connects to the injector pipe and senses the pulse.

    They look good B928NW - I would prefer the clock/analogue type display rather than the digital. I drove a Subaru many years back with a digital tacho (and everything else) and found it hard to keep track of.
    I tend to glance at the tacho rather than read it - much easier to do that with analogue.

    Thanks for the info on the tiny tach, but I also would rather a analouge style tacho. as the update time is 2.5 seconds, so it would be hard to read on the go. There must be another way?.

    Regards
    Will.
