I'm not trying to put you off but..... I would want some answers before I bought. I spent a lot of time fitting one of these in my kitcar. Most of the wiring is fairly simple. I am guessing you will need an oil pressure sender unit and you need to be sure that the water temp and fuel senders will match the dash. The tacho works off a normal pulsed signal so that is quite simple. The speedo needs to take a signal from a matched sender unit (not sure how this will be driven as it screws in the vauxhall gearbox). It then has to be compatable with the tyres and gearbox ratios etc blah blah.
I sorted all of the above and it looked the dogs when sat testing inside the garage. I then found that because the car was open top I couldn't read any of it when out in the sun light. I notice the pics in the ad are in the dark, the dash is mounted flush not recessed in the dash like an astra, so may suffer the same problem in day light. The unit uses very bright and expensive halogen bulbs so there was no scope for making it brighter.
I took it out and replaced it with standard dials in the end.
I might be completely wrong, perhaps its all been sorted. Just thought I'd share my experience of this dash.

Peet,
I've seen these from time to time on fleabay.de so it is not a one off, they usually go for about 200 yoyos.
If you have questions ask him direct, most of the locals have a pretty good grasp of English (written and spoken).
With reference to the speedo, this can be driven from a VW/Audi sensor mounted on one of the driveshafts (I think some later models had a sensor for the cruise control).
I have seen a bus with a Passat dash (clocks and everything) and he had a such a sender, it looked the dogs bollix.
