In order of importance in my opinion

1 Oil press
2 Oil temp,but really only needed if you do track days
3 Water temp,but why bother??there's one there as standard already.

Regards Micky

While we're talking about these does anyone know if anyone makes a pod to fit into the centre heater outlets in the dash to hold 2 or 3 gauges?

Does anyone know who it is on here that makes this stuff. I phoned nomad before and he told me they don't do these for an s1 because there's no demand. Any other company names, etc would be appreciated.
