Mark,

I just pulled the needle off the gauge, measured the voltage with a multimeter and pushed it back on in the right place!
Its spot on now. Though it's a pain actually getting to the front of the gauge!

interesting thread as remember my lancias always used to under-read volts, all of them in fact.
my own frshly purchased integrale wil no doubt be the same which would annoy me so i'll check and adjust when the shell comes apart
good to know it's as simple as taking the needle off and calibrating it against a battery.  Cool

tried my car this last sunday when i got it going, reads just under 12V when running, 13.7V on mulitmeter at battery so will need a tweak on the needle.
really glad you guys have done it before me to prove it works and i don't wreck my clocks  Grin
