   Just wondering if mk2 dials would go onto a mk1 saxo, or would the wires behind the dials not match and therefore wont fit/won't work correctly? cheers

   As Pred said, I thinkt he wiring is completely different so it would be more hassle than what it's worth.

   You need the wiring from dials to glovebox connector off a single plug mk2 i.e v, w and early x reg.

    Basically the mk1 dials are analogue and the mk2's are digital.
    
    On the mk1 you have 5 connectors around the top and the mk2's have only one with a few pins in it in the middle.

    But the mk1 and single plug mk2s use the same wiring loom. So just need the section of loom to fit those dials. The mileage on mk1s is still controlled by ecu and not by cable.
