not sure about s1 to series 2, but that is a berlina dash, (or s1??) Calias dashes have full rectangle orange and red around the rev out zone, where berlinas have coloured lines.

There is nothing in the orange rectangle box, that is where the low oil light appears on the sl and exec models.

And it does have calais or berlina seats, they not sl or exec.

Yep that's what i was thinking. I also noticed how the taco doesn't have the bright red or orange where the calais do?? But vl_berlina says that that's how s1 calais where.

hmm that red line thing is something intressting didnt pick it up,
as for whats in the area below the clock i pulled that info from the holden commodore vl owners manual, but i could possibly got something wrong somewhere:p

i spent many hours searching for the awnser about the low fuel light and after taking my dash appart and susing it i discoverd that the place where the low fuel light is has a cable running to it but on the other side it doesnt, so bridging the point to a cirtain thing might result in a fuel light
when my cars off the road i might play with that and try and get it.

its hard to say where that is in the area bellow, is it at the top of the area or the bottom?
bottom is fuel light and top is coolant.
middle is oil but aint used in the berlina and calais dashes as they have oil gauge.


found this too on calaisturbo

Its in the middle , between the top and bottom, there is plenty of oil ect

I found this whilst looking around online to determine dashes also

Apparently out of a standard Vl Sl model
