Yes.
its a straight swap.
Its only if you have analogue mileage and digital mileage clocks you cant swap between.

you dont need the whole dash
just the clocks
does your mileage turn round or is it on a digital readout?

yup as rem said aslong as the clocks are form a car of the same age. there are 2 different typesto look out for. MK1 (analogue odometer) they have 5 connectors and the MK2 (digital odometer) which has a single plug.
Rem and i did this in my old 1.1

sweet sounds easy enough, will my 1.1 have a connector for the rev counter behind dash already as it doesnt have a rev counter at the mo just a analogue clock or will i have to fit a rev connector wire?

nope, the mk1 dials have 5 connectors around the top and sides its worth taking a pic of the way they go in before removing them. Plug in those exact connectors to the new dials and jobs a good'un

Have a look at Harvs guide:

My saxo had the big clock instead of a tacho. I had to add a new wire from the ecu to the dials when i changed them. easy enough job
