Julian Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) I've emailed the guy that makes them as he hasn't got any listed at the moment. I have a perfect OE one tenner posted, if you want it. that's 5p more than I paid for it, plus postage, I did offer it to another member, but he's looking for a new one Edited July 8, 2011 by Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Hi Julian is it a new one? Edited July 8, 2011 by Sutty2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Hi Julian is it a new one? No it's a used one, I doubt very much if you will find a new one of these, which is very likely why one of our members started making them, I don't recall who it was, but they were black plastic ones, like the one that was sold on ebay last night. You only mention a faulty temp gauge, as does another member, does that mean that your fuel gauge is working alright? cos I'd have thought that with a faulty voltage stabalizer it woul give incorrect readings on temp and fuel gauges! I expect someone is going to come in and give us more info on this!! Edited July 8, 2011 by Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
