Technical Day - MadMan Developments

01 May 2017 - Johan Kriek
I was invited by the LROC to present the Madman engine monitoring system to the members of the club. The topic of the presentation was the prevention of damage and subsequent failure of your engine before visual signs are noticed. The benefits of such prevention in a remote place speak for themselves. I explained the comprehensive list of monitored functions available from the system to the eager audience and how things like coolant level and temperature should be monitored to ensure continued reliability under all conditions.

Even new and other vehicles in perfect condition can benefit from additional functions such as exhaust gas temperature monitoring which related directly to fuel consumption and engine load. Excessive readings here can cause long term engine failure without your knowledge.

Even people that don’t like too much information can benefit as the system will only make an alarm when a problem occurs , otherwise it can be ignored as it will keep and eye on things while you enjoy your trip. Some members that had problems and queries regarding the systems where assisted and questions were answered. Valuable feedback was obtained from the audience to further better the product and service provided.

The venue provided by Johan and Jackie Stroebel was rustic and excellent and really complimented the club spirit while providing all the facilities required. Please visit our website at www.madman.co.za or email us on sales@madman.co.za I’d like to thank the LROC, the hosts and the audience for another fun and successful day of Landrovering.
