Anyone actually fitted one of these to a nova i presume it would go up were the original clock sits? How about the wireing side of things whats what with the wires any ideas? and would i need the indicator stalk to work it like you do on the astra one?

Any help appreciated.

The only problem ive got is ive no wiring with it an no switch to change it either can you not use the astra indicator stalk switch that comes in the sports? Also what about the wireing is it already in the cavs loom is it something i could get hold of easily.

on the cavalier/ calibra the trip computer wiring is all taped into the main loom and would be a bit time consuming stripping the tape off etc to get the wires out.

the only problem is the speed sensor was on the cav speedo but you might be able to use the signal from the digi tranducer. if you dont have a digi dash you can use the 1.2spi transducer and then screw your speedo cable into the top. the temperature sensor just sits in the passenger wheel arch so is easy to add.
