Try these people :-

http://www.superdials.com

Also, make sure you go for the VAUXHALL Calibra Dials Calibra/Turbo/V6, as they have a 160MPH topline as well as 8,000 RPM rev counters.

i.e product code - 400QQ

Ok i cant` seem to link direct to the dial in question.
click on the MPH photo then
VAUXHALL
Astra
MK3
Petrol Turbo
Speedo starts at 10 mph

Also the colours Lockwood offer are on that link above.

Interesting to note the differing calibration on the Temp dials. I think we may need a mix to include the 'offset' Temp dial

Wrong ? Guess no one told Lockwood, as the Calibra dials appear to have the exact same product code as the MK3 Astra you listed i.e 400QQ.

Now where is that rolling eyes /egg on face icon :wink:

Darren (400QQ).

Funny you should bring this up again, ive sent another e-mail tonight to Lockwood, & as i'm off on friday, i'll ring them if get no reply !

by **stevieshag** » Wed 29.03.2006, 22:24

the set i fitted are the ones being quoted on forum 400QQ they are an easy fit & dont require removal of needles, the speedo reads the same upto 90mph as the numbers are in the same place, but it only goes upto to 160 instead of the 170 on the originals.

Right then, managed to speak to a guy called Steve Kendrew at Lockwood dials today. He said they would be prepared to make just the FBT, or sell a full kit with the Vauxhall Turbo/V6 main dial as well.
What he needs are the FBT dials sending to him, so they can price them up , can you help here Monty, you said you had all three ?. If you can, the address is C/O Steve Kendrew
Lockwood International LTD
Unit 7 Croyden Street
Domestic Street Industrial Estate

If you want me to send them Monty, can you let Paul have them, & i'll pick them up on tuesday ?

ME TOO!

by **Paul.P** » Thu 30.03.2006, 22:29

The main dial they do in white, cream, silver, yellow, blue, green & red, & i dont see why they can't offer the FBT in the same. When they come back to me with a price, i will ask this question.

by **Nige** » Wed 05.04.2006, 09:56

I'm late coming to this one but would be interested in a complete set FBT included. If it helps I have a U/S oil pressure gauge I could donate.

Nige, thanks for the offer mate, but the 3 dials went to Lockwood today, courtesy of Monty. As soon as i get a reply from them, will let you all know.

Late as usual but would be really interested in a complete set aswell. Cheers Holty

by **Paul.P** » Sun 09.04.2006, 16:12

No problem Holty, expecting some news from Lockwood this week, will let you know !

by **Paul.P** » Wed 12.04.2006, 16:53

Spoke to Steve Kendrew at Lockwood today & this is what he's come up with :- The 3 dials ( oil, turbo, voltmeter ), £16.45 + PP
The 3 dials & main speedo ( Calibra Turbo ), £29.38 + PP
I thought these prices were very good,as the main dial sells for £35.75 on its own, in fact i double checked them with him !. The dials will be done the same as the calibra turbo ones, to save costs, & will be available in there normal colours, white, cream, yellow, blue, green & red.
Steve is away until April 24th, & i said i would have a list by then of who wants what, so get posting lads !
By the way, i'm pretty sure this is cheaper than buying the main dial on its own !

by **Paul.P** » Wed 12.04.2006, 16:54
