Anyone know if my glove box, radio surround thing and fuse cover will work with a statesman dash?

Is it a basic swap over?

and i replaced the globes in my cluster, and now its whipped my ODO? ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks, Clinton.

I've done the statesman dash conversion in my Executive, still has the same glovebox, radio surround and fuse cover

The swap is basically a straight swap, fairly easy if you know what you are doing. If you want the clock to work you'll have to run 3 extra wires into the loom (constant, earth, illum. lights)
rest is just remembered where bolts and screws go. aha.

If it's the l3 cluster, did you remember to plug in the plug under neath the cluster?

Yes, its all pretty much the same except the series 3 radio surround 'surround' has the top section cut away for the sunglasses holder. If you get a stato dash make sure it has the harness, that way its all just plug and play and you wont need to do any extra wiring for the clock etc

Straight foreward, if you remove the steering wheel you shouldnt have any problems at all, just mark it before you remove it so you van put it back the way it game off

Sounds easy enough!

would you say $220 is a fair price for a complete dash conversion from a s3 statesman?

The dash I got was getting sold for $180, but I traded a few things for it. :p
$220 seems decent..
