Question about Speedo Unit

[Jellyfish]

Had a PM from a member offering me a Speedo Unit from a 2000 2.2 LIMITED PETROL LWB FRONTERA.

I have a 2000 2.2 DTi Sports RS Auto SWB.

As i am new to the Fronty my question is would this unit fit my vehicle and would it need to be coded?

I can't see why is shouldn't fit, but is there anyone on here who can give me an answer.

Cheers for any replies.

I think the rev counter may be different.
I stand to be corrected though.

The speedo,s are different between the 2.2 pet and 2.2 diesel.

Cheers for the replies guy's

Shows how much i have to learn

[dbb123]

The difference is just the rev counter
The petrol goes up to 7000rpm
The diesel goes up to 6000rpm

[Jellyfish]

Excuse my ignorance but if the Diesel rev's up to 6000 wouldn't this unit be any good?

Or is there a difference in the wiring etc?

[Sir-Doris]

I suspect but dont quote me on this that the internals are the same but the rev counter has a 6000rpm redline for the petrol and a 5000rpm redline for the diesel version.

You will probably also have to install the bulb for the glowplugs and any other electrical devices your car has which may not have been on the petrol version.

Im sure someone who has a bit more experience with the B series will be along shortly.

Have found at a breakers a Speedo off a vehicle the same as mine except the Speedo is off a manual.
As mine is an auto does anyone know if the speedo off a petrol will fit an auto??

[Drift]

They are the same as far as Im aware

[Road Hog]

The dashboards are fuel & drivetrain specific

[Trugga]

On the A's, the individual clocks are separate (speed, revs, and the four little ones clustered together) - Are the B clocks of a similar modular design.

I was wondering if one rev counter could be swapped out with the other - or is there possibly more to it than that.

Just a thought - my mind wanders some times.

Has anyone used Digidash Northwest?

Still looking to repair my dash.

My cars still in the garage waiting on the fuel pump to be repaired, but the garage haven't had chance to look at the speedo yet.
