I am running a tickford dash in my futura. It has been in for a month .You will need to rewire the right blinker to the dash,the dash illumination and all the warning lights.My abs comes on when I hit the demister. The speedo reads around 20 kays out. Its a big lot of mucking around so good luck.

The attached PDF file should give you everything you need when going from low series (forte) cluster to mid/high series clusters. there are 3 wires to move and an oil sensor to buy mostly.

Enjoy
