Yes.

its a straight swap.

Its only if you have analogue mileage and digital mileage clocks you cant swap between.

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
