Gauge help!
Hi All!
I recently (4 months ago) bought my Clubman S (complete JCW package) and I wanted to know if you can help me out and tell me what gauges are these?
I believe the first one is Boost (as there is a % on the lower left corner and shoots up as I step on the gas)
The second one is Engine temp?
This is a Canadian vehicle so the temp gauge is in celsius (100) vs farenheit (212)
I would not mind just swapping them out to exactly the same thing (as they are already wired) but a different manufacturer as these BARELY light up at night.
They are 45mm, so I would like to stay within that as well.
I would possibly consider changing out the one of the right if there was something better to go with.
How easy are these to wire up?
First one
Second one
Thanks guys

Here is my thread on the JCW Sport gauges. They should not be that dim.
Left is Indicator Relative Torque Gauge - % & Right Indicator Cooling Water Temperature - Celsius . The set up you have, They looks the same for Canada and US.
Here is the link to the options.

Here is an example on a JCW MINI with the gray face tach. They look to be the same brightness. Its on a Canadian MINI also.

Based on your link, it appears I may have your gauges.
Although they should not be dim. The left one is almost a dud (light output wise) and the right is near zero lit.
Do you have night shots of yours and how it should look?
Do you have a link to your gauges for purchase?

Just Posted pics above with another link.

I want mine to look like that.....it certainly does not at this point.
Im assuming there is no adjustment on brightness?
Any idea on possible reasons for not lighting up?
If nothing, then I need new ones....
Any member discount/pricing? :D

I believe they dim and light with the tach. I would check the connections they should not be that dim. Main on the back of the pod.
Here is the install guide which you can check things to make sure they are connected and set up right. Also make sure the dip switch sequence on the box is correct. See last install page right before Customer info.

If everything is ok and the pod or pod lights are bad, then you have the link to the new pods.
Currently we don't do any member discounts/ pricing. Never hurts to ask.
Thanks and hope that helps.

Thanks for the below document! It helped tremendously.
I did check the cables and they seem to be good, I un screwed the tach to do all this.
Light still seems dim. Better (as I think the cap was pinching the wires) but still dim.
Certainly not like the picture above.
I will wait for warmer day to fully dive into it.
If its still dim, I will be purchasing them from you.
Thanks for your help

Great, you are welcome. I would advise always checking things like that since they are add on kits and people sometimes don't install them correctly.
Sounds like a plan.
Thanks again.
