Hello all!

Maybe I can be of some help for you. It doesn't matter if the LCD it's from a 8V or a 16V Opel, all internals are the same. Parts you need for installing:

1. LCD
2. Both plugs from the back
3. Transducer (also known as "Geber" in german language). This piece transmits signals to the dash, wich calculates traveling speed. The speed cable has to be unscrewed from the gearbox and the transducer screwed (clockwide) in its place.

Here are some files that may help you:

This is my LCD installed on a Daewoo Nexia, wich is pretty similar to Opel Kadett. I only had to make all the necesary re-wiring.

depends what sort of digital dash they have bought...if its the VectraA 2000 (one meant for the Calibra) then there is a wee bit more work to get the check control working

Vectra never had a digi from factory. Only Manta, Senator and Kadett E had it.
