Cheers peeps.
Franco, that one on the pillar, is it just clamped onto the original pillar or is it a whole new pillar with pod attached?

Well i've got Boost, oil Press, temp & EGT.

The oil pressure defi is much more precise than the factory fitted one..........

But as the say "the choice.................is yours!"
