I am thinking about fitting a digital dash in my 205 but not sure. What i am thinking about doing is getting a digital dash from an Astra Mk 2 etc and rewiring it to fit.

Would this be hard to do? Is it worth doing or am i just on cloud 9 lol ?

Any advice thanks in advance.

This ugly and most likely very inaccurate (if its anything like the R21's dash) dash?

 

Save your time and money mate.

I've never understood why people write ime when they mean I'm, It is the same number of characters

 

If you put more effort into your writing you are more likely to get useful replies.......

Agreed. There's retro and then there's just pig ugly!

The MG ones were awesome! they used to do talking diagnostics

[Rob Turbo 3]

I put the astra digi dash in a nova, it was ace!! Was my first car, I've since got over it!

I actually quite like the GTE dash...

 

back to the future !

If by diagnostics, you mean telling you your 'handrake is on' whilst driving down the motorway and reminding you to 'please fasten your seatbelt' everytime you opened the door, then yes! They were great.

 

To be honest, I thought it was the best thing ever when I was 8.

There's the BX Digit dash which is a sort of straight fit into the 205s instrument cluster housing. Only some wiring to be sorted I think.

 

[M@tt 77]

that Digit dash looks like it has the red buttons KITT used to have in Knight Rider looks class

[richsmells 2]

That BX dash looks like a space ship! Cool!

 

My grandfather used to have a talking Maestro. I thought it was great!

I wonder what the limits on the gauges are? You can see the rpm gauge only goes to 6k rpm which is not ideal for a GTI or anything with higher max. rpm.

[James_R 3]

There's 2 Astra digi dash's and the later item (for 16v cars) has a higher rev gauge they're actually pretty acurate provided the input is right.

 

If you go on migweb and pm Dom, he made frequency convertors so you can tune in the speedo to be bang on. can't comment on the fuel, coolant temp and oil pressure though

 

Or you can get an Acewell, which is pretty simple, you just swap the speedo drive for a VSS from any late 306/406, Xantia etc.... and off you go, you divide the wheel circumfrance by half the number of teeth on the worm drive ( the VSS only seems to pulse every other rotation)

 

They look ok too.
