complete interior change

[mattyattitude]

Has anyone every attempted this or am I on my own for this?

Beige cloth to black leather with c70 front seats

[Tomcat]

It's been done before, it's not a difficult job if you know what you're doing, just time consuming.

4 hours on a p2.

Do you recon it's worth taking pics then and doing some sort of guide on a p1? I want to be a active member not just take Info

Yep I have done this before on Deathriders car, not too bad a job apart from his was ME7 and the wiring on the rear of the dash was different so bear that in mind, if you need any help or advice pm me ill talk you through

well I didn't get as far as i was hoping i would but it probably has something to do with the hangover from hell.
I'd say what I've done so far was easy enough apart from the back of the rear seats was beyond complicated.

Still got the carpet to change, dash and steering wheel. Dont suppose anyone in the stockton area has a machine to reset the srs light? i forgot to connect the passenger seat and now i cant get the light off.

[mattyattitude]

Well everything is finally in but....... I reused my speed and now I have a abs light, my traction control will flash off but won't stay off, Speedo is no longer working and my remote locking has given up aswell. Now it has to be something behind the dash but what I dunno. Anyone got an idea?

[M-R-P]

stick the old speedo back in mate...

[mattyattitude]

i put in the orginal one to my car or do you mean the one that came with the dash?

[Dan H]

we'll try the other speedo tonight, if that fails, we'll take dash out and make sure everything is connected back up properly

[M-R-P]

Being ME7, it'll be very fussy - you need the speedo, CEM (central electronic module) immobiliser etc that belongs to the car or it'll have a hissy fit and not work properly.

Be grateful it's not a P2 - you can't even swap the driver's window switchpack!

[mattyattitude]

I reused everything original expect the wiring behind the dash but surely that can't have caused it all.

And my front seats wiring is different which could have caused the srs light it's the central locking I don't understand

[M-R-P]

The CEM is hidden in the dash somewhere, did you swap that out? The immobiliser unit is in there somewhere too - I think.

[mattyattitude]

It was the wiring lol my cars 97 and the dash came from a 99 so quick swap of the wiring and it's all sorted except the srs light.

[M-R-P]

great news. the srs light is probably an open circuit, most likely the seats.

[mattyattitude]

Yea seats look like originally there was 4 wires going to the plug on the seat side and on the New ones there's only 2 with another plug to the side with 2 wires going there.
