check panel

[DJ_B4L]

has any one ever fitted one of these to there car i have a 318i cab wanted to know of one of these can be fitted or not

and is there wiring there or would it needed to be fitted

i have seen them in the 320i's and the 325i's

they are the check panels that show you all the lights coolant and eveything is ok

You could fit one but for the work involved its not worth it. Cars with check control have different looms

You could hook up the coolant and oil levels without too much work, but the lamp failure functions would really need a complete loom and fusebox change.

im interested in this mod as I have just converted from manual to electric roof with thge sunroof pod.. so it's either get a check control panel.. and just make it sit there doing nothing.. OR.. making it work as much as possible.. OR.. A little mystery

[DJ_B4L]

yeh i thought it prob need a different loom as i have fitted a 325i Obc in my car its working fine just thought the other check panel prob was easy to install

oz how much did you pay to get your roof to electric?

Would imagine what ever the local scrappy charges. They usually cost me about £5, when I buy with a load of other stuff.
If you get the stuff from a scrappy, take the motor panel and the outer guide tubes complete, leaving the spiral inner cables behind. (unscrew the motor to allow them to slide out), and take the loom all the way down to the accesories socket behind the glovebox.

£50
