Yeah mate, Look good too, I'm going to do the install this evening and ill post the installation pics along with a DIY thread if time permits. Tried mounting it on the right end of the dash but because of the inclination of the dash im unable to mount in a proper angle, I'm trying to make some changes to fix it in a correct position. Hopefully by tonight ill do the install and keep the thread updated.
Thanks for your help and thanks for santa " adishenoy" for getting the tacho for my ride
Like I told you before, if you don't get a place to mount it on the dash mount it on the roof.

Waiting for the Pics of the Installation. I'm happy i could help.

reliability is not a problem with automechs, You hardly come across problems in a tacho, Just maksure that you install a fuse to it.

Did the install last night. Mounted the gauge toward the right end of the dash. Inclination was a problem so dint install it permanently. I have an idea to install it but with some custom made brackets and stuff, I'll get that thing done after sunday as my entrance exam is on sunday
till then here are the pics.

I am glad your display feature works because mine never worked since day one.I didn't actually knew that the color display button was "the" color display button till someone pointed it out on the forum.

How can that happen? You should have got a replacement for that right? Which color do you have as standard?

Well i found out that a little bit late that the button was for changing colours.I wanted a tacho in the 800 was so long and this was my second attempt at getting a tacho fixed.The 1st one i tried from a different shop conked out 2 mins after i drove away from the shop.It left 2 holes on the inside of my front right A pillar where the tacho was mounted.

When i got the autogauge i was so happy the tacho worked proprerly that i really didn't bother to ask why the color button wasn' doing anything upon being pressed.Anyways my default is the light red color and i am quite ok with it.Had it for more than a year,touchwood,no issues so far.

My gauge is working all good. My previous tacho was a 4cylinder one, Came to know that its a 3cylinder one after i got it installed but just for the sake of it i dint take it off...i loved its look. Now i sold that off and got this 3cylineder one. This is just cool!.
Nest are the oil press. and the volt meters
