    When I put the Calais loom into my VN wagon I just had to fiddle with the rear loom abit for the lights. I've now added climate to the 88 vn wagon - big job - but it works.

    The main issue for you will be the BCM. But if you swop all the bits over - heater box and all - should be no problem.

    No - but the swap you talk of is a pull every thing out of the sedan and wagon and swap it over. All should fit up ok. For the climate all the bits are on the heater box and all the looms all plug together. Infact every plug is different so you cant botch that bit up.

    Also the climate crontrol will need a regas. Hardest bit is pulling the dash out and that only takes a day at best.

    My 88 exec wagon is ace (as far as I'm concerned) with all the Calais stuff and retro fitted climate control.
