Boost gauge

[evocarlos]

still a gauge like that should last around 10 years fingers crossed on your dealings with them

They won't replace the sender, because people buy them to fault find the boot gauges. But, they will sell me a new gauge without a sender, so half the price (as I've already got half the kit).

I've asked them about the digital one they sell, and if they will sell me that one

It's a shame it has packed up pal, how much are senders? Don't know that much about boost gauges.

Sender was £21 and they will do me the gauge for £23 so it works out the same price as buying a new one anyway.

Yep, it also fits into the pod better than the old one as well, so overall I'm really pleased with it.

Drove the car yesterday. Boost gauge responds a lot faster than the old mechanical one.

I have found an issue though.....I appear to have pulled out the power cable for the reverse camera!
