    what would be involved in fitting these and actually having everything work? as obviously my dials now are analogue and the new white coloured ones have a digital display with trip computer etc?

    this ^^ not true, get a change over year dash loom e.g a v or w reg, they have digi dials and all you do is change over the loom and it all works

    nope, i dont think your oil temp sensor will work tho as thats something extra on the vts itself and youd have to wire it up i think.

    dont quote me on that tho.

    with my mk1 vts i got the change over dash loom as they unplug from the interior loom, plugged it in and it works with digi dials
