Question

Where did you get them? I know both Nitosport and Scoobymania do them and may be able to help, but you could also try Defi in Japan.

I e-mailed them with a problem when I fitted mine, starting by telling them how ace I thought their gauges were , and apologising for not being able to speak japanese

They were VERY supportive, and replied in faultless English.
Why not drop them a mail, explain what happened and ask if you can BUY a new face off them?
I bet they help you

TBH I'd just buy another Turbo gauge and put it down to experiance.

Will be easier than trying to get it repaired IMO.

Harry,

I have been interested in getting the triple pod in the centre console pod for quite some time, but whenever I do research in to I always get different answers. Prices seem to vary from 10s to 100s of pounds!

Which pod have you got - curvy or flat, material matching the dash, where did you get it from and how much?
Which dials do you have, I am thinking of turbo boost, oil temp and pressure, are they connected to the ECU or have their own sensors, also where did you source them and how much?

Have the fitting instructions been good?

Regards,
John

You may be able to get your local glazier to make you a new glass. Might also be your cheapest option.

Well, I have this. It's a 52mm Defi link gauge. It reads in psi and says Boost.

Let me know if you need it.
