Thread: SE to HSE

Electric leather seats.

Do you have a subwoofer.

Fog lights. Headlight wipers.

Do you have steering wheel controls?

I suspect the trip computer is part of the BECM. I wonder if it can be enabled.

I suspect it may need to be a high line BECM, like the type required for memory seats/mirrors.


There's lots of little differences too. While I had my DSE apart recently, I fitted whatever HSE bits I could.
More footwell lights, map lights, ign switch light, puddle lights...


Still need to swap the ABS modulator & ECU to get TC & will probably fit memory seats/mirrors too.
Centre console cup holder also.

i even ask the the guys at Rover Australia about these at the time and it seems there was no set model type. some had headlight washers some had sub woofers, some had highline becms (H on the paper label) some had clarion stereo and steering wheel switches.
without modification a lowline becm cannot run electric seats, seat heaters, front foglights or possibly the sunroof, but most of the other stuff can be programmed in if fitted with the appropriate switch and wiring. but without seeing the car and working out exactly what is or isn't hidden away it is impossible to know what will work.

SE's had Clarions - it was the poverty pack S that had the Eurovox head unit. I think that the S could be the only RR here that might have had the low line BECM as most SEs that went through Trivetts were optioned up with fog lights.

I've got headlight wipers, and steering wheel controls.
Two misses on the seats, they're not leather, and they're not electric.

How can I tell if I have a subwoofer?

I've got a puddle light on the driver's door, not sure if I have them anywhere else. I've got map lights, and an ignition switch light also.

Would you know if the same loom is used for the SE and HSE?
If so, it might just be a case of a new BECM to get some of these things working, then I'll need to go chase some foglights and electric seats.
