Brian -

I've not done a C4 but I've done several CQ & Type 44's and it's like your
basic IED-disarming routine from a Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis action movie:
"snip the BLUE wire. do NOT snip the brown or black wires!"

That's the speed-signal sender from the speedo to the diff controller.

Here's a good thread on MG started by Jared w/ pics far down on the page.

Actually looks like the old Blue/White wire turned into a White/Blue wire on
the C4 but same exact thing otherwise... There are actually multiple places
you can snip the wire - I think on my CQ I did it at the instrument cluster
or perhaps under the center console as the wire was headed back? Dunno,
shitty memory.

Anyway on a Type 44 / C4 obviously pulling the rear seat is super easy way
to go.
