I had a set of Defi gauges fitted a couple of months ago and they worked fine. A couple of weeks ago they started to go through the set-up process whilst I was driving, as if the engine had been turned off/on. Then they decided to stop working completely. I have had a new Control Unit fitted but have the same problem. I have just checked the wiring with my trusty old meter and I get 12V on the white lamp wire and the orange switched ignition wire but the red wire is reading around 3-4V, is this my problem?

Si,
sounds like it !
I would say, you're getting a bad connection somewhere. might be the earth, or might be that +12v to the RED wire.
where have you taken the feed for it from? the stereo ?
as a 'fix' try wiring the red to the white wire & see if you get +12v then (& see if they work!). At-least you'll know it's something to do with the +12v conneciton to your red wire!
cheers

Steve,
Cheers I will try what you say tomorrow. I don't know where the feed was taken from as it was fitted by a garage who I trust, it is going in on Saturday for them to look at but it is always worth going in with as much info as possible.

Can i Ask how much you paid for them, and if they were new to you?
a freind has been quoted 650 for 2nd hand pod gauges and sender unit. is this good.

For the basic gauges, Boost, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure your lookint at approx £100 a gauge. £60 ish for the control unit and about another £80 or so for a pod.
