V7 SLR Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I connected up the oil temp sender to the water temp gauge via a switch sited between the water temp and oil press gauges. Now I have sourced (thanks Nigey P) a dual Spa oil temp/press gauge I wish I hadn't drilled the dash for the switch. What could I use the hole for?

Robster Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 V7, either you have saved several grams off the total weight of the car, so leave it looking like at TVR Tuscan grill...or put in a small warning light connected to a low oil pressure switch. Robster. PS have taken the 7 to work today..not a great idea as I spent the first few hours feeling like I had been through a cement mixer and walked straight through the door to be greated by the MD!! Eurobox for work, 7 for play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Halfords do a cheap pack of rubber grommets and covers - one of them should fit over the hole and tidy it up a bit. Sell them with the fuses and tie-wraps etc. Fake cigarette lighter?

V7 SLR Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 I thought about installing a general LARGE warning light on the top of the dash which would be fed from the dry sump tensioner, the oil pressure "low" warning, the oil temperature "high" warning, the water temperature "high" warning and the volts "low" warning. Any of these would cause this dash-top light to come on, and then I could look back at the gauges themselves to see which one caused the condition. The Spa gauges have LEDs mounted on their faces, but the dry sump tensioner doesn't have a warning (as it's a home design), so I might install a warning light for that there. Ta.

Mole Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Manual override switch for the cooling fan? SV 52 CAT - the Mole is flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted October 11, 2002 Author Share Posted October 11, 2002 The ECU controls the fan now, although in 16,000 miles I've never had a problem with the normal fan switch. Am prepared to take the switch out and blank off the rad if someone wants a proven reliable switch.
