opinions on digi dashes?

[richardt]

hi all. ive just won a digidash on ebay. am i right in thinking that there as cool as im hoping?

[Paul]

NO theyre ****, cant see them in the day properly, too bright at night.

Just my opinion, other people love em!

[simonm]

i think there cool any way what ya think

[craig green]

Digi-gash.

Poor visibility in daylight, the levels particularly fuel seem to go up & down considerably, yet an analogue gauge wouldnt. Likewise, seeing a needle on a scale (speed or rpm) is much easier to interpret than reading a number or viewing the rev plot on a graph. Nice idea but poor in use. best left in mk2 Astras IMO.

I took mine back out for the same reasons mentioned as Paul.

[shrtwrec20]

never had any issues. an it's easier at a glance to see your speed than with a analogue clock

[simonm]

as ive never really driven with mine in im hoping i like it still as ive hacked m dash to get it in there so the original clocks wont be goin back in but i do like the look of them so for that alone i think there cool still

I fitted new bulbs in mine when i fitted it and its fine in the day but seriously bright at night, looks cool though, and as CG says for some weird reason if i fill up a tenner, the fuel gauge will go up 2 bars and then creep back down :S they were known for problems and remember theyre over 20 years old now.

Ive just removed mine and fitted calibra clocks, i feel there much more accurate... as craig said the fuel goes crazy and all over the place.

i also find the speedo goes up in stages rather than normally

[MattBrown]

Look cool as.

Id rather a carlton digi though
