Hi all,
Im interested in fitting a digi dash to my mk1 nova..
I was just after some info on it, as to which is the best to get, how hard is it to fit (what exactly is involved?) and, the mileage shown on the digi dash, will it change to the mileage of my car when fitted??

I had a look at my current dash, and notice that it doesnt exactly seem easy to remove whats ther already, without smashin through the plastic??

Any advice appreciated..

Cheers
Alex

Its not very easy to put a digi dash into a MK1 dash, you have to cut away sections of the dash and alter the hot air ducting behind that, I haven't seen many done, I changed my MK1 dash for a MK2 which made things a bit easier, a lot of trouble I must admit to fit a digi dash

So is that the only difference then between the 8v and the 16v digi dash,bobby yours has a rev counter that go's in a round style curv,and the one i have on a 16v dash go's up to a pint then drops back down to the right..

Its not the number of valves that determine the type of rev counter.

Tick type was up to early G reg
Arc type was later G reg and onwards
