   im thinking its because the 106 ones aren't on a timer? or the saxo ones aren't, either or, as my mums 306 goes off after about 5 minutes!

   the 106 dash is so dated compared to the Saxo, why are you changing?

   just like the 106 dash better ok its square etc but look better flocked than the saxo ones and better layed out and in my case the 106 dash isnt as big so i have leg roof with out hitting my knee on the centre everytime

   i like the sax dash but preferred the 106 dash in my quicky, didnt feel as closterophobic (spelling i awesome this time of night) would much prefer a swap from a flocked sax to a flocked 106

    the saxo dash is definitely alot bigger but more modern, the 106 is only abit smaller and looks dated imo.
    I'd never covert it over
