Remember your injector should be cleaned and calibrated every so often, 60k rings a bell, another boffin may know the exact service life.

In front of the coolers

I had it on the back on the corner light but it keep telling me it is summer when driving faster then 10 mph.
Now it is sitting on the hi-lift tube under the winch mount. Hoping it will tell me that it is winter again

Pics?

How many would I need, as I want to do mine?

I know how to get the dash pod of, and I assume its easy to do the main gauges

They are bright enough for 15W led but they could be a little wider, seems like they are some kind of spots, but for £46 inc p&p for two, they will do.

4 in the main cluster, i will sort some pics over the weekend and links to ebay were i got mine

dash out is easy, two screws in top in the cluster hole, drop steering low as poss, the dash then prises off, i found it easier to then pull the switches out and pull the plugs from the back, other than the push button on the heated rear nscreen, dash to passenger side footwell, four screws facing you on the cluster, two a side, undo them and the cluster comes out/leans forward, biggest holders are the dash lights, twist n pull, fit new led`s, try lights, any that dont illuminate take out, turn 180 and refit, back is a reverse of removal
