Yes but to be honest it's far easier to go the other way - if I found one without a digital dash I'd be gratefull - but of a pain in the ass and not that reliable either

Apart from
A Voltmeter and oil pressure guage as "Digital" extras in a manual
As above plus a digital gear indicator in an auto
Both of which are no true indication of anything except for bulbs working.....
The only usefull feature in the digital dash is the ability to change over to KMH and Litres in the tank when abroad.
I have digital in my Senator - it's staying in there cos I can't be arsed to change it (although I do have all the bits to hand to do it)

Digital clocks are gay. GAY, I tell thee!  I'm changing mine over to analogue this winter. I'm sure that's how you spell anal-ogue, but that looks so wrong........... |

I love the digi dash, the only reason mine doesn't have one is because I have LC dials (which are the mack-daddy)

I have a set of plod spec calibrated clocks to fit one day - there is an extra wiring socket though - any ideas?
When I do the conversion this coming winter, I'll happily smash the crap outta the gay clocks, but if Mr. M Tek wants, he can have - no probs.
The Lotus clocks are just GSi clocks with a LOTUS sticker on the rev counter, aren't they?
At least, that's all they look like!

Nah quite a few alterations, 180mph speedo thats electric driven, rev counter revline is different (different design) with the 'Lotus' badge printed on, the temp gauge 'blue' area is replaced with 'white' Thats it really I think apart from the added check-control lights warning for 'low water level' in the chargecooler system. |
