Nooooo, they have sold out - some bu&&er bought the last 2!!! Just my luck - I missed out on the BX window decals as well
Although might have a look at this one with a battery guage as well. Not sure it will fit where the clock is though - I'll have to measure up at the weekend.

I'm sure they'll have more in stock if you send them a message. When I bought mine there were many sellers selling the same one but less now (can only find it in white).
The external sensor I mounted inside the passenger door mirror - threading the wire through the existing rubber tubing for neatness.

In other news, I've managed to repair an inverter that I've been meaning to fix for the last 5 years!
It failed when I connected an old style CRT TV to it, which I think drew a large surge of current to start it. The problem turned out to be that several of the MOSFETs on the output side had gone short circuit. After replacing 8 of them (not cheap at nearly £2 each!) it now seems to be working OK! It was a present from Lana so had a bit of sentimental value - would have been a shame to bin it.
