V/S/C 70 instrument panel in an 850 T5

Guys,

Has anyone put the slightly more modern / better looking (IMO) instrument panel from a 70 series car into an 850?

Re: 1996 850 T5 Wagon - anti-surge (hesitation)

Thanks guys,

I'll give the MAF a clan, as that seems to be the cause of many issues.

You sugested unplugging the MAF - will it actually run without?

As a follow on, the hesitation is of on on/off cyclical nature - of about 1 - 1.5 second frequency, and its not there all the time, the severity ...
