Cheers.

Don't the d****l ones have a glow-plug warning light ? You need the correct fuel option I'm lead to believe, otherwise they're plug & play on the later wiring systems.

Diesel clocks can be used but you will need to rewire the multi-plug

with thanks to Steve (Mocki) for the diagrams the clocks are now installed after a little re-jigging of wires on the loom plug to the back of the clocks, everything apart from the rev counter is working, well I say everything, the red battery light isnt working and the blue main beam light is very dim but I guess I can live with these, but now I just need to rig up the rev counter. So essentially - these were very nearly plug and play afterall which was a real suprise...!

I have had a look through the wiki and technical sections on here but couldnt find anything. To get the rev counter working I remember AngeloEvs saying that I needed to run a wire from the coil and a few other mods so Im all ears matey...!

thanks as always

Run additional wire from the green wire (terminal 1) of the coil to pin 9 of the multiconector (as can be seen on the picture Mocki posted of the later pin diagram.

Ignition LED was 13 and should be routed to 11 for the new pod. If wired correctly and not functioning check led and polarity (or earth connection at 11 to see if LED works with igntion on and engine off.

You may need further mods if the oil pressure light doesn't work or if the buzzer sounds but you may already have sorted that out.

great stuff - I'm on it, thanks again mate. Oil light and gauge are working fine and no dreaded BoD yet either...!
