    Default Have you replaced your instrument cluster/gauges, with one that has a taco?

    Would rather get one with a taco than put an external gauge in. Ive heard its pretty much plugs straight in.

    If anyones done this could you please let me know how much you paid and where u scored it from? It takes about 10 minutes to chuck in yeah?

    cheers/

    Most common place would be wreckers and ebay .. it doesnt say where you are so maybe you can let everyone know so someone might have something specific that can help you.

    Yeah i done this with myn, Had the level 1 cluster then stuck in the Level 2 one. Got a swap from the wreckers i think they might go for about $50-$80.
    Ebay maybe a bit less.
    Go down to your local Wreckers and ask for a Level 2 Cluster for your car VP should be alright also. Myn was a L2 Berlina VP.
    Yeah it is even simple enough for me to remove it and toss the new one in
