TI dash into DX

I have way to many accessory gauges and want to fit a TI dash to my DX (GQ wagon TD42) as the TI has fuel, volts, oil and water temp, my DX cluster only has fuel and water temp.
Apart from having to change a sender or two, will it plug in and work?
Cheers Jas.

Rip out the cluster see if there are any plugs that are not plugged in, compare with one at the wreckers.
Maybe a quick way of seeing.

Yeah you shouldn't have any major drama's, it mostly comes down to the loom but i think all the wires should pretty much be there.
I had a loom out of a ute and a TI dash and everything went stright in bar the oil pressure sender cause utes this ute mustn't have had it as an option.

Well volts is easy, oil worst case you might need to add a new sender to the motor.

i changed my Diesel DX dash over with a Petrol EFI ST dash. I had to swap out the tacho cause it was from petty but that was simple cause i had the same colour while tacho in my DX dash as the ST one.
funny thing is now the EFI engine check light is the Glow plugs and the fuel low bowser light is wired up to my water trap sensor.
The voltage sensor worked straigh out of the box, no need to add any wired, the Oil pressure one, well that still don't work cause i haven't got a pressure sending in the block just the pressure switch for the oil light, you will need to get a pressure sender and add an extra wire to the loom to run it as the DX loom don't have it
