Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Having experienced 51degC in the Namib last year we are keen to install a digital thermometer in the troll. OLX and other sites have cheapies but closer examination indicates accuracy factors of 3 to 5 deg C, and often battery operated. So far unable to find a local supplier for something more reliable and 12V. Ideas?

My 4.2 diesel is also a GL model so doesn't have the roof console with the compass and outside temp. I managed to get hold of a console from a scrapped Patrol a few years back and with the help of Christoslang ( electrical genius ) and his step by step guide to installing it, I now have the compass and map lights and accurate thermometer for outside temps. Inside temps is unfortunately not on thew console. This is at least one idea...

Thanks Cedric. I will look for a console. I find it difficuly to believe that such a simple thing as a thermometer is so difficult to find. Even VDO in PED dont have!

Have a look at this post. There is a doc there with the instructions.

Its dead easy to fit...... BUT take big cahoonas to cut the roof lining..... .... but trust in yourself and measure twice and cut once and you will be so upset that you never did this sooner.

I added some info on the the thermistor and LED bulbs that went into my console...
