*HOW TO* fit a digi dash into a mk2 nova

im fitting mine into a mk1 one with a mk2 dash

Can you do it with the turbo diesel?
I'm guessing most of it will be ok but i don't have a rev counter, any one have any ideas how i could get it to work?

if you have no green rev counter wire, you will need to run one from the coil in the engine bay into the interior of the car and onto the loom.

That wont work on a diesel, they have no coil ignition system

DOH!

is it possble then adam? help me out lol :thumb:

I think the rev counter on a derv is ran from the alternator or something like that. And it only goes to about 5k, so i dont think a digidash one will work correctly, without some form of jiggery pokery changes to the wiring

Jigging and poking i can do, but maybe not to this extent.
Maybe i'll just get an oversized comedy rev counter on top of the dash?

my two indicator lights are staying on on the digi dash and it seams very dim on the right side of the dash...any ideas????

mine did this,they should stay on and buzz? make sure youve spliced the indicator wires into the correct wire, as they look very similar on the loom. when we did mine it was just down to the fact we didnt look properley lol

also might possibley be a bulb/dirty connection :thumb:
