ive been asking for some time about transducers as i didnt get one when i got my dash and now im regreting it. and despite all the questions ive asked im no closer to an answer, but..

late corsa came with electronic speedos (correct?)

if i had one of these already in my corsa i wouldnt have to change it when i got a didi dash (correct?)

therefore if i go to a scrappy and get a transducer from a corsa it will work with any digi dash. (correct?)


please can someone tell me if all this will work, so i dont have to ask again in a few days.

thanks alot

Only thing I would say is I know the two speed sensors not only fitted in different places, but work on different pulse schemes (15 pulses vs 6 pulses IIRC) so the speed reported would be completely different unless you're good enough with electronics to build a digital cascade counter...

do i look for a transducer out of a corsa, or do i look for one out of a car similar to the one i got the dash out of?

You want one out of the car the dash came from -- electronics will work properly then...

What gearbox are you putting this in? And what dash is it?

Correct

Depends on the dash you use and your current engine

therefore if i go to a scrappy and get a transducer from a corsa it will work with any digi dash. (correct?)

No it won't

so not any transducer will work on any dash. but any transducer will work on any gearbox.

does anyone know anything at all about the different 3 litres which came in senators?

You won't get a Senator dash to work with a four pot Corsa, at least not with major work.
If you have an L plate 8 valve engine at the moment, your speedo is going to be cable driven, can't really comment on the speed sensor, 'cos the Senator will be a different ball game from the GTE dash.

I'm only 5 mins from Dunstable, I'll give you any help if I can, although I think your gonna be fighting a losing battle with the Senator dash, sell it and get yourself an Astra dash
