thanks so as I see it just now I have to swap the binnacles over use the d1 wireing in the d1 dash splice wires at the dash end to take signal wires to engine bay the only thing I cant get is the d1 dash wireing plugs does not fit the plugs in the main loom ?? at my left leg harness ???

that's fine im not the best at reading and taken in but speaking I can absorb more lol

so will I have to cut the plugs off at where they join the d 2 main loom the 2 square plugs ??? do you have a number that I can call you on to discuss think it would be easier for me to understand ?? and at a time convenient for you rgards mike

I can change the dash binnacle wireing over to the 300 but inside where it connects to d2 loom the connetion plugs are different type ??

I can see swapping the using the d1 instalment pack and wireing but plugs differ inside where they plug in ??
