Jumpy gauge needle...
I have a prosport oil pressure gauge and it was working fine but after a bit of "offroading" the needle jumps at random and will return to the correct pressure. What could be causing this? Thanks

Seeing the same issue on my prosport boost gauge .. the needle is just getting 'sticky'.. just not the best quality gauge unfortunately. You could try taking it apart I suppose and cleaning / lubricating it.
