Ollie:
Me again:-)
I have a Tachometer from http://www.lowtension.com As you can see, the website is no longer active.

Now, when I bought this some years ago, I never new what a TD5 was, so perhaps I have purchased in error :oops: , nonetheless, my question is thus;

Will a '333.TD5  Land Rover Tachometer' from Lowtension work on my 300TDi :?:
It was supplied with fitting instructions and a wire connector to place within the Alternator wiring plug, one assumes from this it can :?:

Cheers
Ollie

MTyrrell:
When Low Tension used to list there gauges in eBay they appeared to be universal.

 The fact that it it's supplied with alternator fitting instructions  I’d imagine it would work.

MTyrrell:
Just done a quick Google and got the instructions that used to be on the lowtension site.

 Looking at this I would have thought it would work but read wrong???? maybe someone with better micro electronics knowledge can give a definitive answer.

I fitted one to my 300Tdi 110 with no real problems

Thanks for all the advice chaps, as Colin states, it's not that difficult and was pleasantly surprised it worked first time.

 :idea:  I had to set the potentiometer to it's minimum setting with all the dip switches off for it to match the 750rpm.

Thanks again,
Ollie
