    I'll give this a try! I've realised it's also the oil light that's not coming on when first turn the key. It must be something common to all 3 that's not working

    I've been following this guide, http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/2009/10/installing-defender-td5-gauges-into-a-200tdi300tdi/ but there no mention of a permanent live feed on the collectors for the binnacle which I think where I've gone wrong.

    I'm having problems with the binnacle, the wiring is all as the plugs should be, but switch side lights on and oil/fuel/diff lock lights come on? And that's all that work?

    300tdi waste gate control hose

    Does anyone know the diameter of the waste gate control hose? I need to source a new hose but don't fancy paying £50+ for one. Could I get away with just a silicone pipe of same diameter? Thanks
