gauges

Which gauge will be more useful an oil temperature gauge or a battery condition gauge as i only have room for one not both
Edd

Re: gauges

It depends Edd on how you use the NG, if you drive it hard or have a V8 with limited cooling then temperature. If you use the NG on high days and holidays it is good to relate coolant temperature to oil temperature Belts and braces. If you have the battery linked to a smart charger in the garage it will tell you if there are problems with the battery, so temperature again. Make sense?

Re: gauges

Thanks Mel
It is for a V8 without an oil cooler just used for the odd nice sunny day
i do have a smart charger in the garage one of those trickle type

Re: gauges

Hi, I don't know which other gauges you have fitted but you may be able to make room by swapping about the existing items. In the past I have changed a small (2") temp' gauge to a combined water temp' and oil pressure gauge. If you have a search about the 'net there are various traditional style gauges that have more than one function. If Ebaying it's worth looking under "gouges" and "guages" - mine was cheap as the listing was mis-spelled.
