Took mine out last night, was verrrrry careful.

Alternativly bin the unreliable and inaccurate gauge and try one of these:

A bit pricey but very accurate as I'm finding out

Matt,

Is your Spa gauge the programmable type? If it is do you have a manual? These gauges were fitted to my racecar when I bought it and I'ven ever been able to figure out how to customise the alarms.

Cheers.

Thanx for the help guys, these gauges are damn clever.

I've always had a problem with the oil pressure sender on the race car (reading -13psi with ignition on) and always assumed there was a way of resetting it to zero. Anyway I've reset it and I now have 50psi oil pressure at idle compared to the usual 37-38psi, and hopfully the low pressure warning light will stop going off under hard braking and cornering too.

Cheers.
