Gauges
As jy drie van die ronde gauges in jou lux moes sit, wat is die 3 belangrikstes wat jy sou in sit? Ek praat van die volt, amp, olie druk, olie temp en water gauge goed. Weet nie wat mens alles kry nie, dink daar is n vacuam een ook
Is gebed jou spaarwiel of jou stuurwiel?

Re: Gauges
Oil pressure .... for obvious reasons.
Water temp ...... also for obvious reasons
Amps ..... If the ally stops charging it could be an indicator that you've lost a fan belt. Very often this drives the water pump as well so it acts as an early warning. If the charge rate drops, one of the diodes is probably blown, but at least you will know in advance to conserve battery power and not run lights / wipers / climate control / radio unnecessarily.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
