There's a fitting guide on the main site, use that but obviously the other way around.

Hardest part is probably removing the wiring loom, is the car you're removing it from a scrap car or a good car?

Its a car that will be used for racing. I have seen the guide, but just wondered if there were any techniques to removing it or even pictures to help me identify what needs to be removed.

Any help welcome

Hi,

I pulled an OBC out of a car for Simon yesterday, it's a case of following the wire from the back of the OBC to the temperature sensor plug, and across the other way, to the instrument cluster and the relay control box on top of the ECU.

Just follow the wires, and you should be ok.

Best to remove the steering wheel, to get the cluster out, but it can be done without removing it, I managed it yesterday, removing the plug from behind the cluster with a screwdriver.

Good luck!
