I am the proud owner of a 00 AU LTD V8 and have just aquired a new dash cluster, but it is a new AUII one which is identical in every way, can anyone help me out into its installation in my vehicle.
I believe there may be only a few different changes re the digital read out. All comments appreciated. Numpty |

If the cluster is S2 and your car is S1 then you just wasted your money. It'll fit but won't work properly. You need a S1 cluster to match a S1 car.

Well i don't know if it's different in fairlane-land, but i know in the falcons you can put an AUII cluster into an AUI and vice versa. Trust me, i had an AUI cluster in my AUII for a week or so to diagnose a transducer issue.

It's my understanding that the extra guages in the Fairlane/XR/"sports" cluster are wired slightly differently so a couple of your ancillary guages won't work properly.

One difference in the falcons is that the AU1 gets an oil pressure gauge, whereas AU2/3 get an idiot light (converted to look like a gauge).

G'day fellow LTD owner, as JC said it can be done but the oil presure gauge is wired different you'll probably need to get a new sender for that also,... but seriously why would you want to? I'd rather have the "real" oil pressure gauge myself.
Just curious what colour is your beast? |
