Trip computer fitted

Graham E · 25th June 2010, 22:43

Had trip computer installed today, took about 10 minutes to fit instruments and about another 10 minutes on T4.

Not bad for £30 for instruments
£15 for indicator stalk
£30 for T4 session

Before

After

Very nice job. Well done. One thing though, is the temperature right? If so I must think of moving to where you live

Yep Newport, South Wales. Roasting today.

Was going to put the climate control on but now I have an MPG gauge I decided not to

have a search on here 'on-board diagnostics' and you can collaborate your cars MPG to give a more realistic reading.

anyway great modification for very little money.

Got a receipt when I bought the car for a service at 105k, just wasn't reset.

I plan to carry out my own service shortly just before we go away. Will be the full monty, Oil, Brake fluid, power steering, gearbox, all filters and plugs. Got all the stuff ready just need some time. Also got a reset tool

Will look into that, it has been rising gradually gone from 7 when I drove out of the garage and is now at the dizzy heights of 24
