You'll need the dash itself, both plugs on the rear with a few inches of wire to connect to your current loom and the gearbox speed sensor (AKA transducer I think) again with a few inches of wire to extend to the digital dash.

Try and buy a matched dash and transducer that came out of the same car. Most are sold as a pair anyway.

Hold out for one, and keep an eye on eBay as I remember quite a few on there when I was looking, will be much less hassle than trying to source the right transducer on its own.

there is a switch on the top of the dash that is red and will change the pulse setting to read either transducer
