I'd like to fit some kind of digital daskboard into my 1600 CVH Escort MkIV. Obvious candidate is the one from the MkII Astra GTE, though it doesn't have to be.
I have seen one pic of a car with this conversion done.
So a few questions..
Does anyone make a dash or a conversion kit that can use the existing senders, or ideally a kit designed especially for Escorts?
Failing that, has anyone gotten the Astra one to work, and if so, how?
Are there any legal issues around this. I can see possible MOT issues with the speedo and also legal problems with the odometer.
Alternately, has anyone done any kind of heads up display unit that can reflect off the windscreen so that I don't have to keep looking down. Just a digital readout of the speed (and possibly revs) would be sufficient, but the whole lot would be cool.
Basically I want to reduce time spent looking at the speedo dial, and I really hate analogue gagues, a number is far easier to read.
And ideas?
