look on www.vauxnova.co.uk and there is a complete guide on how to do it

also a haynes nova manual (book of lies) may help you.

right hand side of the engine bay you will probably see a round plastic distributer cap which will have 5 leads going to it. it will look a bit like this

go underneith that and back a bit and you will see the clutch cable that is linked onto the gearbox. Follow this back a little way and it will go near to the speed sensor. There are no other sensors nearby on the gearbox.

bottom left hand side of the engine block at the back. You dont have to do anything with the actual sensor to put a digital dash in, all you need to do it connect the dash up to the wire coming from it. This wire will already be connected to your current dashboard and so you just have to use this.

i didn't. I would recommend a haynes manual and the guide and you should be ok at doing it yourself. You can always post questions on here (in the tech forum).

Buy a haynes manual before you attempt to do this yourself though
