I have an auto gauge. Rich at PAW described it as OK for a budget one. You can spend £200 a pop if you want, this was £20 delivered. They do all 3. Drift do some nice gauges but you're looking £70 ish each then

I dont want to spend millions, they all do the same thing, a needle moves to tell me what its reading lol!

Preferably though, need a gauge that comes with the sensor too.

Do gauges exist without sensors then?

Oh I see what you're asking now

The two types of guages I have seen are mechanical or electric. From what I gather mechanical ones take a feed of the fluid that you feed to the dial. Electric ones need a sensor. I have been eying up Smiths gauges.

The other day were were talking about sensor locations http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/honda-p ... t5469.html

You get what you pay for with gauges
If you want reliable, accurate and good build quality then you'll be willing to pay for that
