Unused lcd screen 2008 defender?
Hi - Looks like the blank screen underneath fuel and temp gauge is for a trip computer ? Can one be fitted on 2008 defender?

The pic is one i just noticed on the net which got me thinking.....

Hello

People have fitted the ultra gauge in this gap, tricky but can be done.

Sorry if this is OT but what is the steering wheel you have Stacey007? - I'm not familiar with Pumas, is this standard and if so how many splines on the column?? I'm looking to replace the worn one on my DCPU and like the look of this one.

Thanks - it looks great but not £450 great... Thud

Think I'll stick to the standard factory leather version then I won't be so worried about getting mud and claret on it...

The ultraguage unit plugs into the port where the dealers plug into to read fault codes, cable is easily fed behind the dash to the plugs location. 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html

In a nut shell no you cant. The picture shows a Freelander 2 (high line) or Discovery 3 dash, which LR obviously recycled in a cut down form for the 2007 on Defender. The Freelander 2 and Discovery cluster will fit in the Defender dash but it wont work.

As others have pointed out, there are after market displays than can be stuck in the same location.

Hello

Yes its a Startech wheel around £450 new but I was lucky and found a member selling one half price Smile

I heard a Metro wheel is very similar in size. Smile

The gauge plugs into the OBDII port just under your right knee. It can be used to reset codes, fault find, or as I use it for MPH, Rev, Temperature etc. As mentioned cable hidden from view Smile

Thanks
