My oil pressure gauge is always reading nothing, now im told its the gauge even though most occurrences appear to be caused by sender spring according to posts on here, well the question is, has anyone used this "SPA" gauge to replace original one? and if so, does it fit properly, and although it displays digitally, does it accept the "analogue" input like the original tvr gauge would? or would some kind of conversion process be needed?

answered my own question thanks to this thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... which pointed me to the manuals for this item, which show this diagram:

You bought the car with no pil pressure readings. You have balls the size of melons.

The SPA Gauges have electronic senders, simple enough to use.


On an entirely different topic....

AlVal, your profile says you owned a Gallardo?

I dont understand how you jumped from a Gallardo to what seems a clanked out rustbucket of an early 4.2 cerb? scratchchin

Business didnt do too well?

haha, trading down is hard, isnt it smile

I enjoy learning about the car and not being afraid to do little maintenance/improvement things myself, trying to increase my knowledge as I go along, at least I can do that with a cheap cerb!

I've had a Spa Gauge fitted. Much more accurate than the original.

Still at least there's Gallardo money being thrown at another Cerb. Another body off refurb coming up? All good for the Marque.
