I'm going to put the Calais cluster in - I'm sure a few of you have done this before, so are there any issues I need to know about (eg is there any circuit differences btw the ones they used for 6 cyl and 8 cyl; manual and auto), or will it be a simple plug out/plug in job with no hassles? Also, what do I need to get the two extra (low fuel/water) warning lights in the centre to work? Any help appreciated. Thanks. Steve.

No worries Steve, thanks for the compliments.
The AE82 bonnet I got my twin spot washers off was in a "bonnet rack" (with literally a hundred others) in a local yard that does have a fair proportion of imported front cuts & engines (ab
