Another Gauge Thread....


Recommended Posts

Posted

Have read the other threads and its got me wondering....

I was all set to get a set of Autometer gauges as they seemed like a good compromise between price and reliability. Ie cheap, but not really nasty.

The advice seems to be to buy the best that you can afford.

I cant stretch to the Defi BFs, but I notice that they offer a Defi D range also. Would these be a better idea than Autometer and do you still need the Defi Link Control Unit?

Also, I spotted them in Flat4online, but is there anywhere else that sells them on-line?

I'm only really bothered about accuracy. If your Oil Temp is not at desired level yet, but your gauge says it is, then you've obviously got problems etc.

I would guess that the more you spend, the more accurate your gauge is going to be.

But can it really be worth spending 2 or 3 times as much? Surely the likes of Autometer cant be that inaccurate or they wouldn't sell any of their products face-icon-small-confused.gif

SPA's are about as accurate as you can get, but not the prettiest.

Haven't even had problems with Defi's, but being electrical, i know they ain't always spot on.

Autometer in my car - I find them clear and, as far as I know, accurate - they also seem stable and smooth, light up green like my car dials and have a silver face the colour of my car - custom almost face-icon-small-wink.gif

On the bugeye - the speedo is in the middle and on the blobeye (03 onwards) the rev counter is in the middle and the gauge needles are red instead of yellow...
