SWEET! I sent in my last kit just the other day. Just a note to others, if you aren't into oil analysis yet you might not want to start, it can be a little addicting...

It wll ask for the secret word which is "diesel". I thought about getting cute and making the code word something like "I love my Mercedes" but decided against it ;-)\ Thanks for thinking of me -- Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ --------------------------------- Want to start your own business?

I know that there are likely parts missing from the 240D engine compartment to drive said tach. How about using an embedded device (like a Basic Stamp or similar) and counting some pulse coming from the alternator and using that to drive the tach input? Would that work? Thoughts? Jim?
