Question

Can you tell us what the make of the gauge is?, if its broken you can get a cheap one for about £25.

hi bruce,

I dont know the make but i dont think it an expensive
one, although it has a light in it, as i have
said it was on the car when i bought it.Do you
usually have to set them if you replace the pipe.?

Thanks LEE MAC

Cool

There were no adjustments on the T.I.M. gauge that I installed into my car, just connected it and away it went. Althoug I did read that if the gauge needle continually flutters, you can clamp the tube a bit to give a smoother reading.

cheers bruce,

I have come to the conclusion that my gauge is
spent, so I will have to invest in a new one because
it has driven me nutts...!!!!!
