    Fitting instructions

    These pods come with no fitting instructions

    But don't worry, I managed to work it out, so it's really not that difficult...

    Gently prise the centre vent pod out that you want to replace. At the worst, you might break one of the little plastic "spring" retainers in the vent (being removed). Discard the removed vent (or put on ebay )

    Feed the hose and wires through the hole in the gauge pod and attach the gauge (with the fittings that come with your gauge).

    The gauge pod is a snug push fit into the prongs now protruding from the top and bottom in the vent surround.

    Or the Bentley Manual method :-

    "Fitment is the reverse of removal"...

        Thanks Matt

        My costing was way out wasn't it! Actually, it was pretty close considering we were buying in euros and I had to estimate the postage, and I didn't include my mileage to the bank and post office but who cares, any excuse to pop out in the S2...

          Today's Despatch

          Right guys,

          With the exception of those who haven't paid yet (and rs2coupe, whose I shall be posting when I'm in the US next), the remaining pods have all gone out today. You should receive them Monday/Tuesday.

          To save me checking every recorded delivery slip individually to make sure they've been delivered, could you please just drop me a PM when you receive yours

          Enjoy!
