that sounds like it needs to happen lolI was thinking about doing that to my front seats too for the BBQ area with a little 12v battery so they could still be adjusted.

Alot of that stuff comes from the BECM via inputs from else where, but the message bit certainly does, that could be a bit of a nightmare to sort, but it would all be doable if you were

But as you mention it.
I dont know how the Iveco gets it speedo reading from but the RR setup doesn't have an easy way to fit a cable drive too.
So something to consider. if you are going with the 350 on a yank autobox you may get lucky, or as you are using perhaps that other TB that may have it which maybe why you have chose it.
Lots of little niggly bits to sort I would think.

All comes via the BECM. Shame you are not closer or I would buy the interior.
i might tr
and yes collecting the interior from there would be pretty spendy with the fuel and ferry
l might try and lift out the whole wiring loom and use it in its entirety i assume i can un plug all 4 door looms and it wont affect anything running wise, that way i can use the dash/brinicle and have it all working

i have one of them in my zil 131 it works fine untill you get into central london then all the tall buildings block the signal and you lose your speed display but hey the chances of speeding in central london are slim anyway lol
that may bugger me up then as i wont be trying to engineer that on to the ivecoSpeedo comes from abs

i was having a mooch around the local 4x4 yard today and i found this P38 engine and box on the floor, the interesting bit was it has a speedo drive on the transfer box as pic shows, i might get lucky and find a way of converting to cable drive the same as the classic transferbox had, maybe
i would guess this works the speedo and not the abs ? will unplug it on mine and see if the speedo stops working

i was driving it about today just to see it all works before i start taking things off it and i noticed it has no error messages or faultcodes,
the aircompressor for the air suspension is missing as its on springs but it shows no faults does that mean some one has written the air sus out of the becm somehow to stop it reporting ?

It will be full of wires that feed the Hi/Lo range change motor and it's transducer etc.
well i found half a day to fiddle with the p38 today treated it to a new battery and a jet wash, engine came up like a new pin, the new battery seems to have caused the becm to wake up from its deep sleep having not run for nearly 2 years, last week it wouldent talk to me no error messages which i was told means the error message system is broke lol, anyway it wont shut up now displaying messages along the lines of window system not set door open bonnet open sunroof not closed, select neutral tailgate not set. tie your shoe laces etc etc anyway as i wont be using the doors of this p38 i needed to make sure it wouldent keep telling me the doors were open, as i couldent see a courtesy light switch on the A post or B post i guess the latch must have a contact in it signaling when its shut or open, so i just unplugged the door loom and bingo it couldent see if the door was open or closed and no error messages, just got to work my way through a dozen other things to see if they can just be disconnected
with out the bingy thing binging at me

Looks much too good to scrap, I'd love to get my hands on that interior.
