In Dash Computer
Hi,
I have a 95 xjs convertible 2+2(actually 94.75). Are all convertibles 2+2?
On my dash I have a clock and was wondering if I replaced the clock with the in dash computer along with the corresponding wood trim will the computer work?That is do I have the necessary module in my trunk/boot?

This thing......
As well as being a clock and trip computer, it also gives you the FF fault codes that accompany the check engine light. Quite useful. As others have said, the wiring is all there.... just get a trip computer (and the panel surround), unclip the 4 switches at the sides and add into the new panel, and you are good to go
The panel you see in my car came from Pauls Jag off ebay..... he has some more left...... http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Gorgeous...-/111542697254

Facelift cars all have the same later trip computer. I very much doubt that you'll find a facelift computer for $45! If you can find them working at that price, buy every one you can find! In the UK, a facelift computer is usually over £125.
Facelift cars are all XJSs built after March 1991. Any car that has a VIN higher than 179737 is a facelift car.

The ones I saw for $45 were pre facelift cars. The newer ones are much more than that! I was not aware that there were two types. Thanks for the reply.

malc4d,
Good point. There is a different part number for UK computers (and a different one for Japan).
I guess the fuel flow sensor just sends flow signals and it is the trip computer that determines a value of actual fuel used. So it is the US computer that is necessary for US gallon calculation compared to our ones which do imperial gallon calculation.
So a non-US computer would probably work but you'd get Imperial Gallon consumption figures (which would make you feel better!)
