    think just the lugs at the top and left and right! and just a lot of jiggery pokery. There is a thread on here somewhere of someone that actually put the digi dash in a mk1. Have a search. But standard dash ftw! or alternatively. Just buy a mk2 dash and fit the mk2 interior and no mods required!

    Like Brains said, push some slack on the speedo cable through the grommet on the bulkhead, then ease the clocks out until you can get your hand behind them to disconnect the cable and the plug from the back of the clocks. The Haynes manual recommends taking the top part of the steeering cowling off, but this is just as difficult! Once you've done it a couple of times mate, you get the knack!

    The cowling has to come off, then push the top of the clock and the bottom should pop out, push some slack speedo cable through and you should (just) be able to push the clip in holding the cable in..

    and digidashes aren't a straight swop into a mk1 dash...they can be made to fit though, but you will have to hack away at the dash

    Unless you have a heated garage (i wish!) or are desperate to change it, this is the sort of fiddly job that is best done when the weather warms up a bit. Cold plastic shatters where warm plastic bends..
