Just fitted a digi dash in the nova, went for a spin and the speedo reads about double what it should be, ie when im doing 50mph its about 120mph. Any ideas? Could the signal wire be broken somewhere? cheers

Try the red switch on the top of the dash - It has 2 settings

Flick it the opposite way to what it is and it might solve your problem :)

nope as at 50mph it'd read 80kph, unless he thinks he was doing 50 and was actually doing 75 lol

It'll either be the red switch or a dodgey transducer ?

Your thinking the MPH/KPH switch, which is on the trip reset.
Not the red switch as said, Red switch changes between the two transducers that astra's came with.

No, it switches between mph and kph fine, they both read double what im actually doing. As there is two type of transducers, AK and AH, Ive got the AK transducer. So ill try the AH transducer.

The red switch changes between the two transducers.

MPH/KPH is changed my the trip reset pin thing.

the red switch is behind where the top screw mount is at the circuit board.

I had endless problems with one of my digidashes.

No matter what transducer I put in it always read over, I dunno what it was!

Went back to 6 dials FTW

Hi I have a quick question about the digi dash to, I have a V6 with a digi dash and the speedo is fine but the rev counter is off, when im doing 3000 rpm it reads 6000rpm.

It it because it's a 6 cylinder engine?
