Does Anybody Know If I Can Fit A Au Series 2 Tickford Fascia To My Au Series One V8 Xls Ute?

Yeah this can be done.

Do a search as this has been covered hundreds of times, and there is a few write up on step by step guides too

no you can't the tickford cluster has a 240K speedo not a 220 the scale is compressed to accomodate the higher speed so the speedo will be innaccurate unless you get it recallibrated so don't try it without the help of an instrument tech you can swap a S2 tickford fascia to a S1 tickford cluster but the tickfords are the only ones with the 240 K speedo

I don't think you can swap the S2/3 with a s1 as the wiring is different. This was discussed somewhere here not so long ago.

Looks like a case of Yes? No? Maybe?

StealthAu · 12-06-2007, 09:25 AM

maybe, but there is already a how to on replaceing a low series 1 cluster with an xr series 1 cluster.

there is no wiring on the fascia this thread is about swaping the fascia not the whole cluster but with complete clusters it is true you can't put a S1 cluster in a S2/3(if you do the radio will go straight up to full volume and stay there) but you can put a S2/3 in a S1

this is a definate no to the question asked people think that because it physically fits it is ok but because of the different speedo scale it is a definate No to this one. Your car would no be legal with an inaccurate speedo

it can be done with some wiring mads PM me with your email and I'll send you a word doc with the details

i don't get what your trying to say, both series 1 and 2 xr clusters read up to 240. The signal from the box is the same on base models and xr's the cluster just decodes and displays it in a different scale

my car just passed roadworthy with an innaccurate speedo.

lol ticky fascia on a non-ticky cluster hahahaha

although i have a piece of overhead film with all the numbers on it sitting infront of the fasica til i get it recalibrated.

If changing the fascia from s1/s2-3 and vice versa (the fascia not the cluster) I read a thread a while back (dont know first hand) that a couple of the warning lights/symbols appear in slightly different places and dont line up, not sure if that is for the base models only or the xr's or fg's or if it was just for some dicky eBay overlays, just a point worth considering if anyone knows.

If trying to put a tickford facia over a standard cluster - just keep in mind that the tickford ones have tacho + oil pressure guage so wont fit over the standard cluster as thier completeley different.

the original post was about changing facias not the whole cluster a tickford facia on a high series cluster would have an inaccurate speedo

Bucknaked · 13-06-2007, 06:30 AM

Ok, sorry, for some reason I thought it was about the cluster

Correct. A S2/3 facia will not work on a series 1 cluster (not even an XR one), as a lot of the warning lights etc changed position. You have to change the whole cluster, which is possible, but after GK's experience, not always straight forward.
