The same ODBC (or whatever it's called) port as garages use for getting the error codes.

Stack do some nice after market ones, but they're well over the £1k mark

ok, so all this info is available on the zs's but rover never built a dash computer in to disply the details??

When did you order it? :morepics: when you get it sorted.

I think something like this would look nice angled on the top of the dash about where i think you are suggesting. ;)

Ordered it this morning after seeing it on another forum.
Yep going to put in on thop of the dash, but was originally thinking of putting it where the clock is and moving the switches down to where the heated seat blanks are.
If i was any good at photoshop would do a quick one to see..

I saw it 'there' too. :p

I think on the dash would look better though (and less hassle). Down where you are suggesting my Mum and Dad could read the speed off it. ;)

I am sure Rover Ron sells these, or at least there is plenty of info over on his site. Have a look on Rover ron site (http://www.tuning-diesels.com)

Apparently so... Specifically states Rover.

Yeah they will work with all the petrol ones after 2001 i think and will also work with all diesels after 2005. It will give limited features on models outside of this.

As for the question about MPG it doesnt measure it as such. you have to set it to one of the pre-set values and then from that it works out the MPG from the throttle position, loading temp etc. Once set up i have been told the MPG is very very accurate but is a bit of a job to set up unless you know someone who has one fitted to the same car.
