Okay, some usefull background there - thanks.

Earlier you said...

So is that going through the gateway or not?

Injecting graphics into the DIS via canbus is certainly do-able, just a case of whether the effort of getting the D2 one to work is worth it.....
Probably not... but I'm prepared to give it a go because I like a challenge. I'm certainly not expecting a quick fix.

@MikkiJayne:
So what is the best way to go about getting me some test kit (RNS-D and D2 cluster would seem to be the minimum). I see you're in Devon, which is a bit far for a collection (I'm in London/Horsham), but I'd contribute to postage - no need for you to be out of pocket.

And if possible can someone point me at some pinouts (esp. for cluster) for power and relevent CAN lines?
