I wouldnt think for one minute that the dash will fit, but the instrument pod will.

What year is your van?

the granada is mk2 only i believe the mk3 granada is the same as the sierra! the granada one is the best cos the fuel and temp are in seperate gauges :D just make sure you dont get one from a 6 cyl or it wont read correctly!! :D

i have a 1991 mk 3 190 and fitted a set of clocks from a smiley front. It was a bit of a job in fairness but looks really modern, especially at night.

Firstly, I had to wire up the new connectors from the donor van to my existing loom. The lower mountings on the the mk 5 clocks themselves line up with the original mk 3 dash mountings as far as i remember. however, i had to make brackets for the top mountings. Then, the original fascia surround was cut and bonded to the inner fascia surround section from the donor van, This was tricky and many hours of cutting and re-cutting and swearing followed! I used normal body filler to blend in both sections and sprayed it all matt black for a factory look! I have pics and hopefully will be able to post them soon. Hope this helps
