If it's significantly lower, you'll need to replace the injector otherwise it'll melt the wire again and/or damage the ECU! :shock: Of course, it co...

Re: trip computer

You'd need a new stalk, and more likely than not wiring for the stalk, as well as wiring for the fuel level sender, the odometer, the ecu... It's all covered in the main thread on this subject. Thanks mjb... Read the thread now but just wanna clarify this .. For the following wires: 1368 wire from ...

Re: trip computer

Hi - This topic is interesting. I have been thinking if i had a t/c on my 96 executive .... I really wanna know how to set up the t/c.. Almost all but the most poverty-specced cars. The thing is very few are actually wired up and set to run in trip computer mode (t/c mode disables the radio display)...

The heater and air con don't need moving. Clutch, well, yes, and electricks but Jibz's car is a 96 so probably a lot easier than a D9. Yea. i think its almost same for a D8 and D9(cheaper for a D9).. Got a LHD dashboard,door mats, pedals, A/C evaporator behind d dash. changed the direction of d wip...
