Do ye mean the whole dash or just the centre piece?
 
I'd just use a multimeter to find out which pins you need to connect too, or just a quick bit of trial and error, unless im missing something here?.. simples :)

Sean do u no the eBay number
that rightup shows every thing but the td5 center console Wich houses the hazard warning light
 
The 16-Way and 20-Way Connectors needed for the TD5 Instrument Warning Lights are on eBay (see my signature).

As are the hazard warning lights switch connector, and the Black and Green 5-way switch connectors.

Those plugs are far cheaper elsewhere - RS for example.
But if someone is doing a complete cable to connect the Td5 dials to a Tdi loom then I'd like to see it, not sure it's possible though having read the description of the conversion and the way the instruments are powered/fed.

For most people, RS doesn't work out cheaper - especially for small quantities :confused:

To buy 1 x 16-Way Connector Shell, 1 x 20-Way Connector Shell and a Bag of 50 x Terminals (minimum order quantity)

Comes to £5.90 with VAT + £4.95* for P&P, total = £10.85

* unless you have an RS account, then you get free next day delivery :D


The same Connectors ordered from Simtek would cost you a total of £7.84 incl. P&P and VAT.

I picked them up from my nearest RS warehouse and avoided the delivery charge, although there was some confusion as to whether I should have been able to do that! Some items are only supposed to be available from the web site apparently in which case I would have gone to someone like Simtek. I detest having to pay a delivery charge that's almost the same as the price of the item.

They sometimes make it feel like they're doing you a favour by serving you :confused:

I've given up with my nearest Trade Counter in East London and just have stuff delivered now.

It's location at Old Ford is a real pain in the arse to get to, involving the Blackwall Tunnel and (usually) long queues in both directions - wastes nearly the whole day to get there and back :mad:

Then, if they haven't got what you want in stock, it's another trip over there when it's in.

Thinking about it, £4.95 is a reasonable amount for P&P compared to a 40 mile round trip in a 4.0 V8 @ 15mpg :eek:

The only good thing about RS was that they didn't have one of the connectors but after the fuss I made in the place they rang round and got it sent to me post free - from France! It arrived 2 days later.
