looks cool but i thought rovers never had this sort of thing? where will it be sensing MPG data from etc etc??

arwilson80 29-11-07 11:26 AM

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..

arwilson80 29-11-07 01:32 PM

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. ;)
