There is a Youtube clip that has been posted on this forum showing Spitfire I daily flight inspection that illustrates this clearly.

Its incorrectly modelled in CLOD

Thanks for the correction. I found my download of the MKII pilot notes from Zeno's page. Works exactly as you say in the MK II

The Mark I manual that came with the game shows the dual guages but once again the button needed to be pressed to read them.

Cheers!
