Default Installed oil pressure gauge in my 2003 Disco

For those of you who have a 2003 Discovery and fear having oil pump failure, this may be a preventive measure for early detection. I installed this over the weekend.

This should fit all DII's and maybe even DI if the thread on the oil pressure switch is the same as the DII's.

If any of you are interested in the hardware, please email me.

Pretty nice. That is on the list for my truck also more because I like gauges and like knowing what is going on with the truck than me being worried about the oil pump failing.

That is one of the gauges that I wish the Disco had.
I am assuming that it is also lit.

Maybe I can come and check it out in person, the wife and I am trying to figure out a tropical place to vacation next year.
No passport required for the USVI is there?

Are you telling me you live that close to the Canadian border and don't have a paasport, Spike? I got mine so I can drive home to Alaska, but haven't made that trip yet. Looks like Mexico is going to be my first passport stamp.

No AK i dont have a passport...yet.
Never needed one, you could go do the Windsor casino's and strip clubs with just your drivers license.
Here in MI going to Canada was a everyday thing, many people even worked there.
Next time I renew my drivers license I am going to get the "passport" license, it will allow you to go to Mexico and Canada, the Bahamas', Caribbean, cruises etc.
Cheaper than a "real" passport and easier to get too.

Spike, you and the wife should come down to St. Croix! I'll take a day or two off from work and give you a full island tour and take you off road! (well at least what I can call off road)

Seriously

Here's a place I'd take you...
