Update on the progress
This much wiring in the door, jesus that was loads
Earthwire nearly in two, so now I know why the windows didn't always work
Front nearside door on, off a VP
Rear nearside door on, again off a VP
Both doors lined up

[Jeff Turbo]

So not only do you have the only digidash car known to the club, you have a full spare digidash setup?

If I didn't admit that impressed me, I'd be lying...


(And maybe it's me, but I'd rather have that when it's finished to ANY Turbo...)

Nice to have friends Sam, it's also who and what you know

[Jeff Turbo]

Internal workings of seat belts that I modified.
On the left is a front belt, on the right is a rear belt.
Remove the screw on both belts, pull off the workings and attach to the other unit keeping the spring where it belongs and tighten the screw. Re-attach the cover and it works perfectly.

PS - does it still talk?

Wasn't talking as the radio wasn't plugged in. I now have another complete digi dash set up, wiring loom, sensors, talking unit etc courtesy of Rick just in case it was something else.

I owned one of those talking dash montego's years ago - nice to see one again. It was a light metallic green A reg (1984) MG 2L EFI. Nice car - had the digital speedo go up to 120mph once - on a private road of course lol. How many are left today i wonder? The trip computer can be way out and light bulb senors can fail easily if i remember correctly. Good project Jeff - looking forward to the finished article.

Going to be busy tomorrow then on the MG EFi and my sons Turbo

[Jeff Turbo]

More new parts arriving.
New offside seatbelt and new rear offside seatbelt.
I now have 2 new rear offside seatbelts, can these be used as nearside?

Been experimenting with the rear belts to turn these old grey front belts to these, new front belts.
Have tested and found they work perfectly, fit ok and look great.
The front and rear belts are nearly the same so I have modified them to fit the front.

[Jeff Turbo]

Jeff, I reckon you're a cleptomontiac!

Naarr

Jeff, I reckon you're a cleptomontiac!

[Jeff Turbo]

I think the rear belts are the same Jeff

put a pair of right hand ones in the efi they fit perfect

Thanks Steve

Hi jeff, coming on well, seat belts in rear are black as they are dealer rather than factory fitted. Seen this before on an mg1600. Mine had factory fitted and they were red

They should be black I know but I much prefer red ones, more classy
