If you get a cluster from a high series and connect that up you'll find your a connector short on the dash. This carries some info for the trip computer and the door ajar/lights out. Now to add just the computer you need the dash MF switch and a couple of sensors. Depending on what you need. If you plug the cluster in with one plug you get both displays however you cannot control the second. If you add the stalk with the MF controls you'll need to wire the three pin plug up (which you don't get on the loom) to the second missing connector on the cluster. You add the three wires for the switch - that allows you to alter what the cluster shows. Now to add in the missing bits you'll need a new washer bottle with level sensor and an outside air temp sensor and looms to match. Armed with those you can wire those up to the missing connector at the dash. That will give you the low washer and outside air temp warnings. You can if you want to go further get a new sump with the low oil warning sensor and plumb that in too - but you might only be interested in air and washer - the low oil light really is for lazy people who don't check it! I would prefer to know I have oil that rely on a bulb to tell me! You'll need a wiring diagram and a donor ghia to rob parts from. There is one feed from the PCM that you need to add to the second plug to give MPG or the DTE wont be able to calculate what's going on :-) Door ajar and lights out can be done - but that is a major rewire of lots of bits as the CJB is used to collate lots of electrical information and route it accordingly. Your low series loom wont have any of that. You could however if REALLY brave try a CJB upgrade from a donor car and see how you get on. But that is never for the faint hearted! You'll need a good wiring diagram and or access to a TIS CD. 98MY cars were rewired compared to anything before so make sure you get the bits of a pre 2000 3/4MY car or things have changed to much to make it an easy job! Not a 10 minute job but all do-able! Steve thanks for the info steve. only want the trip comp at the minute. will get round to it as soon as i get time off work. i might be able to get a donor vehicle same year ghia spec for parts might change the whole loom but depends if i can get enough time off. thankyou again for the info
