I'm all for extra gauges, but this isn't exactly easy to read on the move is it?

Firstly it's not sitting in the sump so won't give you an accurate reading. Secondly, it'll get nicked first time some scrote sees it.

Gimmick. I've got one, it doesn't actually work- not enough splash and spray in that area of the SV case I reckon. Apparently they're good in an oilboiler.

But it looks nice, and it gets loads of questions

I am, yes. But I'm going to remove it, so if anyone wants one let me know. Did I mention it's great, and cures diseases?
