right cut the old nova plug out..

then simply join the wires colour for colour. all the brown earths into the single brown wire on original nova loom.

same with the ingnition lives on the digi dash wires, put all the black wires to the single black wire on the nova loom.

there is a diagram somewhere on here (i cant find it but sure someone will post it up)..

the transducer for the gearbox screw into the old speedo hole, the black goes to the ignition live on the back of the clocks, the red/blue goes to the speedometer wire (think its red/blue on the digi dash) and the brown earth goes to any earth really.

the rev counter will need a wire from the bottom right terminal on the coil onto the green wire on the back of the digi dash. depending on what model of nova you have the rev counter wire might exist already so no need to run a wire from coil..just connect it to the green wire behind the clocks..

hope that helps..any more questions just ask.

Stop, you've got a part missing - the nova:eek:

Now seriously it looks like you have a transducer stacked onto another transducer, you will only need one and expect it is the top one (the second transducer would of been for ECU, power steering etc).

I assume it's a MK2 its going into. It's very fiddly getting the digi-dash into the dash opening between the metal (left - right), you have to chop bits off the digi-dash sides. On mine I didn't need to cut down the metal parts on the nova dash. The digi-dash will kinda sit on top of the dash at the bottom but this looks fine especially when top visor is fitted.

Don't think you can have brake fluid warning lamp wired which concerned me a little and check to see what and how many bulbs are fitted, I didn't have enough bulbs for everything I wanted and don't think you can buy bulb holders:( .

Good luck, wiring is pretty straight forward.
