Hey guys! Been looking at getting a digital vault meter for the lux. Is there any you can recommend? Seen a few on eBay that are only a few bucks. Are they worth it?
Cheers Steff

I've played around with the cigarette lighter ones. They aren't as accurate as a multimeter but will give you a rough guide, ie. within half a volt. You'll want something wired direct to the battery to get an accurate reading though.
Not sure I'f you can stretch to a scan gauge 2, but I think they are the best. Do a Google search of them or even a search on here. Personally wouldn't be with out one

Just checked it out. Thats far too technical for me. Mist of the features i wouldnt use anyway. Just like the factory dash features in the hilux now. Never scroll through them.

Yeah I have the same looking VOLT meter (spelling ) but mine reads to two decimal places and I have found it to be accurate I have since changed to the round EBay one the same size as a ciggy lighter as it fits on my dash better but is not as easy to read as the one you are looking at and would prefer it if it fitted where I want it
On the internet you can be anything you want. It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid!
I always like to know if my vault is in good condition.
As to a VOLT meter ;
mine's just a generic recessed one , with a simple 3 way switch to decide between starter and auxillary circuits (i often monitor both throughout a trip... just incase I'm getting a drain from somewhere on my starter, or likewise a charging issue on auxillary).
im contemplating one like this http://sidewinder.com.au/page162a.html its a little bit more expensive but theve got a sale on boxing day. 20% off with the code "boxing" i was going to buy one of there clamp meters anyway so i might just add this to the list
