They are prosport gauges, mine are just the premium ones iirc but you can get steppers which are similar to defis but at a fraction of the price. They are also available in either 52mm or 60mm

I'd be up for taking you up on your offer to get a drive shaft oil seal sorted and maybe my bushes although that is only trailing arms

When it comes to the new turbo and all of the other bits I have planned this will be done on my drive and I'll probably throw up my 'kin huge gazebo to weather proof the project.
Quite happy to get my hands dirty but with a couple of drive on low ramps I've haven't tackled jobs like this - the last engine I removed with a view to rebuilding and replacing was a crossflow from a Mk1 fiesta
Equally, for everyone else, more than happy to help out on other jobs such as fitting of roof vents, anything electrical (I trained as an aircraft spark) and pretty much anything that can be done with a good hobbyist style workshop
