Analog Inside Temperature/Compass
Mounted in Cubby Box
Classic, P38
The P38 Range Rover climate controls display shows only the
exterior temperature, while the Classic has no display for indoor or
outdoor temperature. Kevin Kelly mounted a digital interior/exterior
thermometer in his Classic cubby box.
When he switched to a 4.6HSE he missed being able to monitor the the
inside temperature (since the P38 climate control just has outside
temperature displayed). Accordingly, he bought a low cost analog thermometer and
mounted it in the cubby box soon after he bought the vehicle. The
unit he found (see photo at right)
had a compass as a bonus. Not as high tech as some GPS systems
but
it was cheap (under $7) and easy to install (he drilled a hole in the
cubby
box liner and screwed it in with a single screw).
Digital Thermometer & Humidity Gauge Mounted in P38 Ash Tray
Kevin recently replaced the analog thermometer in his cubby box with a
great digital thermometer/humidity gauge with a resetable memory that
will show maximum and minimum temperature and humidity. He found this
great little thermometer on eBay when hunting for a thermometer with a
resetable memory for his wine "cellar" (the closet in his guest room).
He ordered a second one after he found that it fit perfectly inside the
Range Rover ash tray (see photo at
right). You just pop the ash tray open to see the interior temp.
and humidity.
