Decent enough kit for its day. More than good enough for an in car display like you want.

Nothing like as accurate as modern stuff and has no oxygen display capability like good high end units, nor is it calibrated individually to a sensor like proper high end stuff, but you get what you pay for.

I presume your buying this second hand? Is it cheap? Anymore going?
I hope you will be fitting a new sensor to it Mr Bosch?
