Luke, the transit rev counter is ECU controlled and had 1 pulse per RPM

The coil gives 2 pulses per RPM, I think you need a MK1 mondeo rev counter as thats what i had in my MK3 and that worked

I got one here if you want to try it

exhaust was £440 :shock: ouch :lol: but i didnt pay it :lol:
it does have a life time guarentee but i think you need to take it back every year for an inspection for it to be valid :?

only thing i can knock it on was he used the existing flange for the turbo didnt have any stainless ones in :( but the quality is very good 8)

Well worth the money made and fitted while I waited, took him 4 hours so a fair bit of work involved.
Luke do you want this 3.91 axle I have as it won't be getting used on mine, if you do you can come and collect it.
