tim

worst crap ever


i have just got loads of auto gauge gauges from ebay, came from mayasia and altho not the most expensive in the world they are reliable and look swish saves over 50% on uk price too and i woudl hope they are pretty acurate, not heard a bad word against em when i was researching it i was getting a good deal


tim gauges shud be left on a shelf in the shed, thats where all the 1's ive acrued over the years sit from cars ive stripped , tho the volts 1 is handy for testing batteries
