    Timbo - there are a few on the market, ARB sell them at a fairly hefty price they are rebadged, can't remember the name. I've been considering a Jayca DIY kit, comes as a circuit, needs soldering and installation.

    Hi Timbo, Redarc do a fairly simple one to install. Still needs some skill though. Ex Coventrys I think.

    Good luck.

    I went the Jaycar kit as I was doing an electrical course and cost all of $22. Works fine and installs easily to your ignition power supply even comes with its own relay. Took me a little bit to work out the instructions but all of about 2 hours in soldering and about an hour or so tapping into the power supply. Just remember to put the thermo unit on the opposite side of the engine bay to the turbo.

    I put an ARB one on my GU. Very easy came with instructions and is a plug and play. The only wire I had to connect is a grounding wire everything else just plugs into the ignition plug.
    The ARB is a Boggard just with a ARB badge on it.

    Hi buenno, Just found the receipt. I paid $209 back in Nov 2009. It took me about an hour and a half. Very easy job you just need to take the bottom cover off the steering wheel surround and the ignition plug is under there. Plug it in and mount the main unit up under the dash run the earth wire to a screw on the body and the timer unit somewhere accessible. I didn't have to cut or extend any wiring.
