Hi i got a Astra digi dash lying around, i was wondering if i put it in my vauxhall nova, are these dash's accurate on the speed and other things or is there slight differences ?

Let me know cheers.:)

You need the transducer off the gearbox.

SPI nova's have a similar think, and IIRC you can use them with the 8v dash, but im sure theyre slightly out on the 16v dash.

they are about as accurate as using urine to test wind speed.

cheers for the comment lads might not be a good idea to fit it in then, might sell it on ebay and keep the standard clocks

Speed is about 3/4 MPH out on my 1.2i Nova and it has 16's fitted

Fuel gauge is about accurate IMO, the rest of the gauges work fine and at 60MPH it reads 3k revs which is about correct again

So not too bad - Just a b*stard to fit into the small 'Nova' hole in the dash lol
