I have installed a digi dash which I got from a scrappy.

I fitted the whole loom and the wiring for the clocks.
All seems to be working fine except I cant get a display of the MPH but everything else works!!!

Any Ideas????

u installed the gearbox sender?!

if so it might be fucked

if your lucky and its a "AA" sender (8v digidash) u will be able to pick one up from any nova SPi (1.2 or 1.4) as they all use the same sender

if its a 16v dash ur prolly out of luck

im assuming your getting no readings at all

which installation guide did u use to fit it?

the one on mikes site takes you thru all the aspects of installing the dash including the speed sender on the gearbox

if its a 8v dash it will have a tick shaped rev counter
16v has a smooth curve (circle)

the gearbox senders are like rocking horse poop to find and the 16v dash is rare-er than the 8v dash. try doing a search on google for "fitting a digital dash" and the very first result should be for a mk2 digi dash fitting guide and its well helpful

Can anyone tell me if you can find out if the gearbox sender should be sending 8 impulses or 16 pulses.

I can get the part for ?35 or ?79 depending on which one it is!!

I just need to find out which one I need!!!!! :?

urm there is no 8 pulse dash

its 6 or 16

which dash do u have

8v dash has an inverted tick for a rev counter

16v dash has a smooth circle for rev counter

and as ive pointed out if its the 8v dash - ie 6 pulse - u can pick em up for pennies from scrapyards
