Have removed cluster and the complete wiring cable without cutting any wires. This requires taking the fuse box as a whole unit. I did it without removing the dash board. Took the cluster out with speedo cable attached. This was done by disconecting at the transmission and passing it through the bulkhead. Retrieved the fuel sender, water sender and oil sender. All took 2Hrs. Need to remove the glove box and kick plates to gain access to the heater cables. All looks really clean. Ready for the transplant. We removed the switches to headlights and turn indicators on top of stearing column and it comes away with easy colour coded connectors. Also the wiring swatch comes away from the steering column ie ignition switch by a colour coded connector. All that is needed is to cut a few wire ties that connect the cablling to the body bulkhead. Transplant ready to go. Keep you posted. Have a feeling labeling the cables on the receiving car will help in the installation of the donar cable. Have wiring diagrams of both at the ready. Can't do more than this, so fingers crossed. I have power windows so I'm going to check how this feeds to the fuse box. It must be independant of the accessories ignition switch as the windows are opperable with car completely turned off.!!

Thanks for the replies. Have just found a donar car. Have some electrical diagrams. If I can get it all out of the donar taking digital picks on the way, It will help me in my own vehicle. In the diagrams the fuse box and ignition cables look a little different. Not sure about the speedometer cable but have got this in the donar car. Looks like I'm on my way with the first part of the heart transplant that is the donar. Nothing lost at this stage. Again many thanks and I will keep the forum posted as to the progress.

Has anyone any ideas on what is the best way to approach changing a rapidly disintegrating digital dash to an analogue dash. Appreciate any help on this one. 1984 4WD touring Wagon. Many Thanks.
