Default Successful RealGauge Install!!

I recently purchased the RealGauge Coolant Gauge module with the oil pressure option from The JagWrangler and I'm very happy to report that this product is first class, it is well worth the money and the step by step instructions are spot on. I started the project at around 11 am this morning and by 6 pm my XK8 was out on the road for a test drive and the coolant gauge and the oil pressure gauge were responding in real time as advertised. The kit comes with everything you need including a few extra of the smaller parts such as an extra PosiTaps; and that sure did come in handy. The instructions were easy to follow and very thorough with good tips for accomplishing some of the harder procedures that involved the routing of the electric cable from the supplied oil pressure sensor underneath the engine on in to the cabin.

All in all it was a very easy modification and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't done it;. Bite the bullet and order this kit as this upgrade to your Jaguar sure is a sweet one and is a must have if you want to keep tabs on your engines vital systems.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Steve Kionsky for a great product!

Good job Mike.

I remember it took me a bi t to get used to seeing the needle pointing up so high, even though that's normal operating range, guess I watched it hover st the bottom so long quick glances at it and seeing it up there gave me a jolt.

it is a great addition though, enjoy.
