I've fitted the switches for the Ultragauge, made the screen a bit greener and updated my blog.

I've made the switch looms in such a way that someone else can fit them without having to do any soldering. The individual wires can be passed through the holes and clicked into the 6 way connector housing. http://defender90xs.blogspot.co.uk/

Wow! Looking great.

As soon as/if you feel you want to start selling these conversions, you'll have people biting your hand off!

Great work:thumbsup:

This is flippin' awesome Mark, respect is due sir... Bow down

If only I had the patience and the know how and the tools... Big Cry

Failing that, I would certainly be interested if you go live with the D2.net offering... Thumbs Up

And I even have the UG ready and waiting, albeit clumsily mounted on my steering column in rough alignment with your finished awesomeness... Laughing  Rog... Mr. Green

I've updated the coloured filters to improve the colour match. A proprietary blend of 5 filters required. I'm quite pleased with it considering it's a blue light source.

You are going to be a very busy man the list must be getting very long for these conversions as I said before mine is a 2.2 and I have an ultaguage in stock. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

Excellent job.
Been inspired by your work and done the mod as well.

Could you please share with us the type and color of plastic sheets you've been using ?


The difficult bit for me was to re-attached the temp and petrol needles in the right position. Any tips for the audience ?

To all 2.2 owners :
I've relocated the DPF leds to the suggested place at the bottom of the rev counter.
Soldered the original leds to a small PCB wired to the origi al position using 4 0.2 wires and trimmed the white plastic to accomodate the additional thickness of the PCB. Then I've cut the original grey mask with pictos and glued it to the new place (after cutting a hole in the new position to allow the led light to go through).

Could'nt test the DPF lights at their new position though...
Will post photos soon.

Well done Tono - I look forward to seeing the pictures. Thumbs Up

For the colours I have used the following.
1 layer of yellow
2 layers of apple green
2 layers of grey
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190559189509?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT

To position the needles you rotate the needle towards the zero position.
For temperature, rotate clockwise
For Diesel, rotate anticlockwise
If this is not clear, let me know and I can make a short video.

Regards,

Mark http://defender90xs.blogspot.co.uk/

Thanks Mark

Will look at it this week-end and let you know.
I'm confident for the temp needle but not for the fuel one : this one came out with the axe attached (the other needles came off OK leaving the axe in place) !! Whistle
I don't know if the needles reset their positions at each ON/OFF cycle. If that's the case : I'll probably do a cycle without the needle attached and then re-attached needle (+axe in one case) at the zero (bottom) position.

Video is nice if you can do it without too much hassle Mr. Green
