   does it work as easy as that? is all the wiring there already? i've got the stupid speedo & clock setup so didnt know if the wiring would be ok to fit it from there?

   i was looking into this.
   
   i think the loom is all the same except for the doors.
   i have the connector blocks for electric windows, but have winders.

    It definately works matey. I did it in mine Also on your unit you can take it appart and swap the speedo over so the milage is still correct. If I lived anywhere near you i'd hapily help mate, unfortunately though i dont. its pretty straight forward. i'll try give you step by step if you want me to
