The tab snapped off!

Is it repairable? £80 for a replacement seems steep to me.

Is there a landrover or similar equivalent at a fair price?

Also, is the thread the same on a sensor for a pre serp? I may be able to 'borrow' one off the SD1.

Just glue the needle down where you'd like it to read?

Maybe Dan's sneakily been cocking his leg when you do an oil change hehe

Not exactly a long term endurance test I know, but my one is still working perfectly after 3 months.

A big saving over buying one from the TVR parts specialists I would say it was well worth the gamble.

Even if it only lasts a few years, at £16.00 you can't go wrong.

He's smarter than you think.....

..saving a couple of litres of oil equates to 10000 chews and a ton of squeaky toys thrown in laugh
