is it an electronic dash on a 52 then, the odometer etc?

likely the electronic one on that vintage...better kiss it goodbye unless you can live without the tacho.......at least til the speedo goes as well....

I wonder if the older style clocks could be fitted instead a few of my M8's fitted the digi dash clocks from astra GTE's into their nova's

all things are possible Sweety, you can only take the dash off and look....but these later digital ones have a reputation for failing, mines been replaced at 57k, luckily all documented and dealer stamped.

Usually a resolder of all the joints on the PCB (taking 20mins- if you are able with a soldering iron) will effect a complete cure.

I haven't tried taking the dash apart on a facelift model with the 'digidash' but if its anything like the previous analog dash it comes apart very easily, just a few screws and you can lift the cover of and get the whole unit out easily...suspect the later one might have a few more connecting wires though.....go on, have a bash, you can only break it!...oh, you already did didn't you...

 

[BIG-JOHN]

did as you said took it to bits quite easy a few screws and it was off had a twidle with a few wires and guess wot it blummin works........
