lol

Pretty much always have heaters on Hot and blowing on the Screen, if i need to change them i'll just reach under and move the lever on the heater matrix box, gonna have the blower motor on a swith near headlight switch, probly just a 2 way - Off and Full Blast !

Here's another one for you..

As Ric said you leave it on hot and reach around (oo er!) if you want to change it, same for where you want it to blow. Switch can easily be fitted elsewhere although I never did as I never ran a heater.

I have since fitted a GSi dash and not fitted the guages but now really miss them as they look so at home in there. Looks so factory too. Might re-fit them.

The 3guages fitted there look cool, very nice.
I was thinking of doing that, but couldn't think of any decent guages, not really much point of a boost guage etc on a 1.2 Lol.

I had the same problem! lol

Think now I'm going let I'll get boost, inlet temp (if I can find a suitable gauage) and an AFR.

Mine are Revotec ones. I got mine from a local tuning shop but I'm pretty sure you can get them from Demon Tweeks aswell - and don't forget your senders!!

They come with bulbs to light them up. Bulbs are normal clear/white but I'm sure you can change them if you wish.
