A mate has offered me an M59 1.6 hdi which did the usual trick of spitting its engine out, to which he has started to fit a 1.9d which he has no longer got time to finish- So muggins here has inherited the van!
Now its in and running, with the immobiliser bypassed in the time honoured chop off the box and electric diesel solenoid method, but im wondering weather its simpler to chop it for parts or try and get the multiplex talking of a working fashion...
My concerns would be speedo and tacho, air bag and srs, and i'd imagine the car might try to drop in to eco battery mode as the HDI engine ecu is no longer wired to the injectors or crank sensors...
Any ideas? Is this a non starter, chop the bugger up, or has anyone tried this and come up with solutions? Any other ideas on where this project could hit electrical brick walls?
Ta in advance!
