i now have 2 rovers!! bought a p plate 600 ti today!!!
.
Its like a dark grey with just over 50k miles, with gbe and induction kit. Just need to work out where to put a boost gauge... no obvious place like there is in the vitesse. Gonna have tinkle around till i know exactly what boost its running!
grant?... what boost do your GBE's normally come set as? the guy i bought it off said hes fitted it but not turned it up cause he didn't have a gauge?
Will host some pics when i work out how!
Cheers

How about here?
I believe the GBEs are usually set to about 10 PSI btw

Or, another common place on the 600's is where the fag lighter usually lives

The boost gauge does look neat in the cigarette lighter but I found it a bit scary to be foot to the floor on full boost and having to look down to see what the gauge was reading

Usually they are at about 10psi

Yep will second that, the one on the Vit is where the clock usually lives down by the gearstick, pain to look at while driving, but will do till I sort out a pillar mount

Yeah, that’s what I had in the vit, and its just plain dangerous... but is a perfect fit and looks good.
Pillar mount is deffo the way forward.... Does anyone stock ready made complete pillars, with the mount molded in?
Bit like:

Thanks for all the ideas (and pictures
). Putting it in the air vent seems like a good idea, but I still think a pillar mount one would be better. But if nobody sells a ready made pillar with mount I'm gonna have to forget about it.

There was some talk of having a pillar trims made with built in pods but I don't think it got off the ground.
The aftermarket one is easy enough to fit though (Even I managed to do it)
