Hello again,

Sorry that I've been posting so much today. I think this will be the last one.

Please tell me what I should have and why you think I need it.

I was thinking that it would be nice to keep an eye on the output of the alternator, but maybe you can think of something even more useful!

Got a choice of orig gauges there, either the shift light, or econ. I'm sure there are a few shift lights knocking round, but econs are generally hard to come by, might get lucky though! Did your Redline come with ambiant temp?

It came to me with it, I don't know if they came out of the factory like that though. I can't see one in the Redline brochure.

redlines are pretty ghetto spec to be honest , mine had no extra gauges, ive now got ambient temp and the econometer, plus its being upgraded with lecky windows and mirrors in the very near future

I've seen a car in the scrappers with an ambient temperature gauge on its own before - bit strange but looked original!

I suppose it depends entirely on what the customer specified at the time of order,

I mean who really wants a gauge that tells them how badly
(or uneconomically) they are driving ,


far more important to know how cold it is outside

Yeah... well, price they were, I think I would have thought twice. In the '91 pricelist I got hold of, temp gauges were £180 + fitting, so I'm guessing econ was the same, just no longer available.

I've never seen a shift light before. Anyone get any pics? Is it just one light as you hit 5500rpm or summat, or is there a succession of lights?

It's just an image of a gearstick and an LED that tells you to change up to get better economy I think - rather than at high rpm. I have one.. somewhere!?

how about an Ameter? Useful.

Economy? Pah, that's for old people

Couldnt be that hard to rig it to come on at a higher rpm!

Oil pressure is the one I would go for.

the shift light works on a combo of throttle position and revs

Help for this oldie please -- my 360 consumes 10% more fuel and petrol in UK is about 10% more expensive than when I had a 340 which was good on long journeys at 60mph (humph!)

On gauges can't see the point of an electrical ammeter thingy myself

Cheers mickt

Carl, Below is the Shift light (Lit up too!) from my '85 360GLS.

And Yes people, the 109750 is original K's (not Miles).
