    Thanks Wingnut0021, just wanted to make sure before I install it. It seems strange VP Exc never came with tacho.


    Thanks.

    Thanks Brocky_05, I have had the vehicle for 10 years now and knew the previous owner. Something strange is going!!!
    I will have to do some checking.

    Looks like the VP tacho must have been a special request on some VP'S.
    Thanks MarzVP and smithy73 for your info.

    Going by the service manual the tacho is an option on the VP.

    Fair enough muggie, I was just looking at VP parts on ebay and all of the VP clusters in there dont have tachos either, thats a new one on me I just assumed that they were standard. I am lucky to have picked up a VP with a tacho.
