Tachometer

Redline is about 4500-4800 rpm

I've just fitted one of the gauges shown in that ebay link

Be awear that most rev counters won't work with a diesel, as most use a signal from the coil

You need a diesel specific tacho which takes its signal from the W terminal on the alternator

Yeah I see, I would possible want a bigger one as I don't want to go moving the dials round in the dash.

Thanks anyway,
David.

P.S. Redline 4500? According to Haynes peak power is at 4k!

landrover598:
I've not needed to go over 2500 rpm yet (70 on M-Way) so i wouldn't worry too much about the redline  :lol:

dew1911:
I'd just feel better driving it if I had a visual representation of the revs rarther than going by the engine note - If I have the radio on or something that could be disasterous.

landrover598:
That was the reason i fitted mine

It surprising how little the engine needs to be revved, less then 2k in everyday running, up to about 2.5 on the Mway
