From my POV:

Don't have to drop the oil
Saw reports of decreased oil flow with the sandwich plate, so rather not fuc with that at all.
Far easier working at the top of the engine
Less parts open to the elements which seem to get at the senders so best to have that all inside the bulkhead/up top as much as possible.

If you look at the price these gauges are in the UK you will understand that Xyber are making almost nothing on these after a 15% discount. When I did the last GB Gaugeplace sold them at almost twice the price but they offered a quick replacement if there was a problem. We decided it was worth the risk and no more expensive if you needed replacements. Very few people had problems.
Ask Danny how much 1 replacement gauge would be (if you are sure it is a gauge fault most problems have been the sensor) probably be cheaper/similar price to the postage
I suppose your right mate...

I'll probably need a new Gauge as it makes all sorts of daft noises and dosn't sweep the same as the others in the start up sequence

I've just been having a look at some videos on youtube of the opening ceremonies and most of them seem to have a loud beeping when they start up, is this optional?

It is optional, you can turn the beeping off.

Yes you can turn them off but I leave the oil pressure one on just so it beeps if the pressure is low you may not see the light in time

Wouldn't work in what way mate?
Nothing at all or no discount?

I had issues at first because I picked the 3 gauge kit but when I entered the promo code, it added 3 gauges.
Got there in the end though.

It's just a discount regardless mate.

I've just logged on and 'bought' 2 gauges, entered the promo and I'm getting the discount.
Daft question, but once you've put your items in the cart and you get to the point to enter the code, you're then hitting the redeem button yeah?

indeed
I know to start with I had to add/delete/add things before it accepted.
Ended up at the checkout with 3 separate gauges and the triple pack but after deleting half, it was ok.
Thought it was just me though!!!

The code works fine.
I tried it with a full set, 2 gauges and just 1.
With 1 it doesn’t work so O suspect if the order is under £50 it doesn’t work

as i said it only works when you order more than 1 gauge
discount code is supposed to work for any amount of gauges purchased.

Who said that? The GB is for the set.
He may give discount to people with faulty/broken gauges but I don't think it counts for just 1 gauge.

Sorry but you cant listen to every member on here. Look for the people that are organizing them or the ones selling the goods
He got 2 which the code works for
Yes for the code to work have to hit redeem first.

I have read the initial post on the GB and nowhere does it say how many gauges you must purchase before you get the discount.
If it does say it somewhere please enlighten me
And for the love of godi know how the code works..............

Well for the love of god if you know how it works get on with it then
The Group guy is for the set of gauges.(but it does work with 2 or more)
Take it up with the OP he should have made it clear.

THE CODE ONLY WORKS ON 2 OR MORE GAUGES NOT JUST 1

Sorry if I misled you mate but, like you, I couldn't see anything that said it was only for 3 gauges. And there are people on the group buy list who are only ordering one gauge.

I did write somewhere here that you need to buy 2 or more gauges...

Anyway.. Here is the Discount code........



Discount code is : oct09_stepperpromo

This will get everyone 15% discount on all the prosport stepper gauges.

Is there any news on the delivery date, as I was told to wait until the shipment arrive before paying the remainder.

I emailed Danny at the end of october about the green ones he said they were on order from prosport and should be with him in the 2nd-3rd week of November, he will request payment when he gets them.

rbaz, or anyone. Can I just get clarification on the best location to fit the oil temperature and oil pressure senders (scoobypart kit). Is it below the intercooler on cyclinder no.3 for the oil temperature and below the alternator for the oil pressure? This is for an 05 STi.

A picture would say a thousand words here if anyone has one lying around

Cheers,
J

Yes J that's correct you will need to remove the alternator and inter cooler to get at them

Just above the belt tensioner



and an inch across and down from the turbo inlet



If anyone fancies a drive to South Wales I can fit them for you
