Hi all, i have a 1.4 A reg 3 door 340 and picked up tonight a 1.7 J reg 5 door 340 to use for parts. Main bits i wanted was the diff/gearbox and propshaft and possibly the rear suspension. Anyway, it also has a rev counter, front electric windows and electric mirrors. All of which i would like to ask if they'll fit mine? I know wiring is unlikely to exsist in my one but other than that is there any problems im coming into? Presumably this has been asked before but i cant find any old threads that are any use.

Many thanks

Is that the blue J plate up from my parents house? I'm after some doors in my 1.7's colour

The electric windows won't transfer, the mechanism is different in 3drs. Rev counter and mirrors will be fine, as will box and prop. Diff will be long for a 1.4 though I'd have thought.

Might be aha Got the allergro too but its really hanging haha.

Ah thats a bummer will probably leave as is then apart from the clocks. Do you know where the rev gauge connects up to? I thort that too but as far as im concerned itll drive and will save me getting annoyed with a locked diff lol..

Ill check there condition but im sure we could agree something if you want them mate. Cars got to go pretty soon but i can take them off before it goes for you. Shame the rear jacking point are shot because i was hoping to cut a section out for mine.

Lame, if it is the one up the road it's the wrong colour That allegro has been there... a while, certainly way before we moved there. I've never had a close look at that car considering it's spent 10 years just living a few doors away

I'll drop you a pm, there are a few bits I wouldn't mind looking to see the condition they are in.

Rev counter, on an A plate you should have a Renix unit in your 1.4? If so, it goes to one of the terminals on that if the wire isn't already in the dash. One thing I have just realised though... A plate will be smiths gauges, J plate is VDO

You can use the rev counter from the 1700 in yours, i've got a b reg 84' and i've put in a set of VDO rev counter clocks. All you need to do is change the dials, the speedo cable and run a wire from the renix to one of the wire in the multi plug that connects in the back of the clocks There's a thread on here explaining how to do it, easy peasy can be done in an afternoon Thomas.................
