I have no idea dude, the actual shifter unit look HUGE! I was actually wondering myself if it will actually fit into the console but because i dont have my car back yet ( :x ) i can't have a go at fiting it. I may have to trim a bit off the base here and there, but alot of it is structural and cutting the wrong bit might weaken it. Running the cable 'should' be a pretty easy job though...touch wood.

The only way I can see it going in neatly is to use a manual boot.

Once the wiring and ecu work is done, can the knowledge be used to create a plug-in kit with instructions?

I can't exactly see the workshop in question giving out this sort of detail, and it'd be alot of work for fordman351!

He should expect/insist on a wiring diagram otherwise its going to be hell to fault find in the future.

Hmm, i can sense this could be an issue. Would they have to give me a complete diagram of what they have done to wire everything up? Or is it something i'll have to find out for myself? Might give them a buzz sometime and see what they can do, and how my car is going, it's been 4 weeks to the day on wednesday, and nothing yet.
