Hi all,
I have decided to make a new dash using a Astra GTE digital dash that i have kicking around, this in it's self is easy but i know I'm going to have an issue when it comes to the speedo reading the correct speed and even the fuel gauge might read wrong.
My question is, has anyone already put a GTE dash in a mini and know of a way to overcome my possible foreseen problems?
Thanks

it basically adjustst the signal going to the speedo to alter the reading. it should work on yours. don't know about the fuel gauge though

How are you going to drive the speedo? Does the astra dash require a pulse rather than a manual cable? Some sort of pickup will be required.

Hi, The dash has a speed transducer that goes in the gear box instead if a cable that gives a pulse, i have this but just need to find it lol
