Default added gauges '03

this year I plan to add oil pressure,water temp,and possibly voltmeter to my '03 disco since the engine will be apart for repair anyway...Thinking about putting the oil pressure to the left of the binnacle,might mount other(s) in the area ahead of the T/C shift if there is enough space behind.Prefer to use mechanical gauges,but have some nice electric ones I could use if mechanical a real bother.anyone have any other good gauge mounting location ideas for these trucks?

I fitted some aux gauges in my 200Tdi Disco last year.

Aux gauges

Oil pressure, voltmeter and boost gauge for now but I have a desire to create a whole new custom dash binnacle that would add an EGT gauge, oil temp and two temp gauges for the gearbox and transfercase.

cool-looked over your gauge installs in the link,I might also add gauges for autotranny oil temp and engine oil temp-especially the engine oil since '03 no longer has oil cooler like earlier models had-might just monitor oil temp with a dipstick probe under different hot conditions and decide if oil temp gauge or cooler would be a worthy addition For the oil pressure and water temp mechanical gauges,want to use the Autometer"NV"gauges I have on hand since they light up in the same shade of green as the original gauges and displays.

I didn't realise that there was no oil cooler from 03, a temp gauge for that just to monitor it would be a useful addition as well as the pressure side, if you tow a lot on the autobox then a temp gauge for both tranny and transfercase would be useful additions.

I pretty sure that there is a temp switch on the transfercase of the D2 that could easily be swapped out for a temp sender I think.
