Little Black Box verses MadMan system.

#1

Post by Paul#25 »

It's time for me to fit a monitoring system to the Disco Td5. I've been looking at the MadMan system but no one has in stock and the costs are crazy. Without installation I've been quoted from R8k upwards. British 4x4 has the Little Black Box in stock for about R2.5k and it covers the engine parameters I want a warning for.
I've heard lots of good stories about the MadMan systems but very little about the Little Black Box. Does anyone have real world experience with using the Little Black Box?

Nothing about the little black box. But people swear by Madman. At the very least have a EGT meter fitted

He's quoted me on the MadMan system thanks. I'm looking for info on the Little Black Box.

I use Safestop
Water level in our conversions
But they got more extensive units with multiple parameters to monitor
