Well I've done it! My car now has the high series
digital dash. There's still some wires to re-connect (
temp sensor/SI reset/rear foglights/brake lining
wear/diagnostic Txd/Rxd) but I'll do them tomorrow
afternoon. The dash + coding plug I have installed
was taken from a 535, so now I have speedo/
odometer/econometer issues. Will the coding plug
from a 525 give me the correct readings, and will it fit
the cluster? The dash is a 160mph type, with the
coding plug in the back, not the "brown plug" type.

Cheers,

Shaun

Here's a pic of the dash powered up (in my kitchen!),
before being installed in the car. I'll post a pic of the
dash inside the car when it's daylight.

If anyone can give me the HTML code so I can post a
pic here, that would be GREAT!!

Cheers,

Shaun

correct-dunno about fuel guage - will fill tank

wires up yet, but they're out of harms way in butt-
