    Default Berlina dash cluster into Executive?

    I just got myself an 87 VL executive project and want to know if a tacho cluster from a Berlina/Calais will connect straight up in a VL executive dash (without tacho)

    yes plug it in bud not a worry one big connector on back of cluster and connect the speedo cable.
    easy only 4 bolts holding it in. i done it b4. tacho runs of the coil which would be there already for other models.

    you will need a new oil pressure sender unit tho ur old dash will be a oil light where the tacho dash is a gauge

    the oil pressure sensor needs 2 be changed or your oil pressure will read off the gauge dosent mean its working it means its getting the incorrect signal
