    g'day lonicus, i too bought the autometer guages from samleo on ebay and he was good to deal with however my pyro sometimes plays up with the needle going all the way round to full sometimes. i contacted samleo and at first he was willing to help but then he stopped emailing me so i went directly to autometer and they told me that the pyro guage needs to be earthed straight to the battery otherwise they can be faulty. apart from this i think they are a great guage and for under $300 they are good quality for the coin, cheers......

    GU Pillar Pods

    Hi Grimace. I have noticed that the pyro needle goes almost all the way round when car is warm and power is turned off. Once power is on though the gauge reads accurately as far as I can tell. Good to know about the earth though, will keep that in mind if I have any problems with it.

    Just using a chassis earth on my pyro Winnie, so maybe it needs a direct earth. No biggie while the gauge reads accurately, might change the earth one day if I need to pull the dash apart again.

    PS: mines in a GU8.
    Mego just pull back the rubber trim and push in a chunk of sponge to push it out with a little pressure.

    Doesn't really bother me, I wanted to fix it when I first noticed it but now it's in the "Can't Be F...ed Basket".
