Am I missing something here??

Can I really not have either an oil or water temp Guage on my JCW?

How am I to know when the temp is right to put my foot down?

Well technically no you don't if you have mini connected as there's a way on there but if you don't have connected them I don't think there is unless anyone knows any wiser Confused

That's right there are none!

But you can get additional gauges that fit either side of the rev counter Smile

It's a big miss.... I have honestly never seen a modern car without one or the other!

What is a scan Guage?.

Not sure but Berry fitted the ones for Lee (Inked) so maybe they will do a deal as you just brought the car etc!

I think you can have just one gauge or a mix of what each will do?!

I shall ask Berry how much to supply and fit.... I have Googled the Scanguage unit and it looks good, but I am not sure where I would sit it (and where the cables would go)

Hi,

Scangauge looks good.... I just a little concerned about where I would put it, where I would run the cable and how the OBD2 port would look with something plugged in all the time.
