Installed the Cyberdyne Green LED oil pressure guage tonight. Painted the A-Pillars black with Rustolium truck bed liner. They now resemble the dashboard texture. Relocated the driver's side tweeter about 3 inches higher. Heat molded the black guage pod to the A-pillar used some Bondo and caulk to make it look smooth on all parts of the A-Pillar. I think this looks really custom and cool. Digital guage is set to flash if oil pressure falls below 15psi. I am very happy with this mod! iPhone app is named vehical clinometer. Just found another app that shows a Defender. The cockpit just got cooler.

I love the snow ball effect. Def blows my setup out the water. I like it!

Is the Glowshift gauge a standard size?
I dont like the 17 year old Fast and Furious pod and I would like to use a under the dash kind of mount. |
Yes Spike those are both 2 1/8" diameter gauges. Like the large display you see behind the counter at Oreilly's. If you remove the A-pillars & paint them flat black and install the black gauge pod it looks very nice and custom. You can even use a heat gun to form the pod perfectly around the pillar. After researching all this stuff for about 2 weeks, I found all A-pillars even in black interior Disco's are all beige(non black). So I painted mine tonight. The A-pillars dont come off without a little fight, but are held on nicely with 3 metal spring clips. I painted them with the left over Rustolium truck bed liner I had from the wheel well project. It adds a nice texture that resembles the dashboard finish.

D1?
Will this same original write-up work for a D1? What differences are there?

Lee97Disco1,
I think most all should be the same. Although you might have engine oil cooler lines on the front cover in those plugs. I know the 99-2002 Dico II's did. But there still might be a open plug on your DI. You will have to investigate. Otherwise follow the instructions and pictures and let up know if you need some help. |
Ebay Adaptor Link Update
The original link is not working. Here is a new link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Senso...item2a0ce0ebfa
when this one goes bad, just look up Seller "authentic-boosting" on ebay. or do a search for "M20x1.5". Good luck! |
