V8V Roadster Temp
Discussion
From past posts, there appears to be fairly common need for a replacement thermostat at about four years old. The seal fails.
Lots of info.

Is there no way to display the oil temperature? Strange that a sports car wouldn't display this.
Nope...... I too think the V8V is a bit bereft of instrumentation, I'd love to have seen oil preasure, oil temp and volts, somewhere in the display, or even in a seperate display...Preferably in place of the crappy sat naff......
Doesn't look like an off-the-shelf product exists (any more )
However, I'm thinking that it might be possible to use an Android tablet with TV out, and this:

And use an iMiv to get the missing information on the satnav screen.
Might be in danger of going off topic here... I'll stop.

Oil level, like in a 911 would be damn useful too.Preferably in place of the crappy sat naff......
The business with revving and dipsticks and so on is a bit fiddly.

Indeed. I actually had mine replaced under warranty after 2 years, based on erroneous readings of something like 10 billion degrees.Both a common and a known issue
