Not technically just today [been doing this project on and off since last friday], fitted an UTCOMP trip computer.
I have to ask, Why?

Because the fuel gauge is rubbish and i'll be able to get it to give me a far more accurate range etc. Useful, as I will be off to Europe next month and want to know how far I really have before I run out, rather than what the poxy gauge tells me.
A preliminary run with it also shows consumption is similar at 70mph, at 80mph and at 90mph - presumable because the engine is coming on cam and getting much better volumetric efficiency as it develops more torque as revs increase and this cancels out the squaring of drag.
A bloody good technical exercise too, cheap at £55, and I can always remove it with out to much fuss (superseal plugs).
