How about this for a Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge with digital read-out all for about a tenner delivered. Ebay Item 260163526468

Not for me but I'm sure there will be some Bongo Technophobe just itchin to fit one of these and frighten him/herself to death when they see the readings......

Arrived in the post yesterday, within 48 hours as his webb site promised

1 hour to fit last night (by inspection lamp in the dark) - easy

6 mile to work this morning - work as predicted sitting at about 1 o'clock by the time I got to work - alarm worked fine presently set to the '4' position.

I'm in the electronics bussiness so the first thing I did was open it up and check out what I had paid for. The packaging is neat and well done; the circuit looks good and fit for purpose and obviously works fine; the electronics are made up on vero-board and is 'prototype' style but as a 'first production run' it is well made - soldering good and board cleaned (which is better than some of our prototypes

)

At this price it should be in every Bongo - I recommend this product.
Well done Dave Mason

I'm off tomorrow for the week and probably doing about 1,000 miles so will report back in a week or so on how it has performed.

Regards Grahame

Dave Mason. Of course. He used to be in Traffic way back when. But what's he got to do with temperature gauges

Don't buy that ebay item, unless you have a remote control toy Bongo!
It's not for a real one!

We're nr Bedford too, give us a wave if you're near Cranfield and see a green AFT ..........usually on axle stands

My Mason alarm also arrived promptly, but I haven't done the night time fit thing yet...

As long as I show my age and nothing more, I'm hoping I'll be let off. Yep, they were good

I've been building electronics for 40+ years but it's still nice to hear some appreciation.
