Whats this wire for?
Me again!

Can't find what this connects to. It comes out of the engine loom near the MAF wire:

Do you wire connected to the air sensor in the air filter housing? Same loom as MAF?

Is that going into a split in the air filter housing or just a trick of the photo?

What are the wire colours?  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

It's just jumped out at me that it's a pin terminal. Let me know the wire colour though Smile  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Inertia switch wiring?

What colour is it?

Thanks for the replies so far.
Will check the wire colour tomorrow.
It's not the inertia switch as that is wired in, and the two connectors to the air box are connected as well.

If its a pin terminal I'll have to see if it has pulled out of something.

Should have checked the wire colour when I took the photo - doh! 1996 Defender 130 converted to TD5 and auto

Looking at that pictue again...

Crank sensor wire (if two wires) or oil pressure sensor wire (if single wire)

It's a single wire, and I don't recall plugging anything for oil yet.
Where should it connect to?

If you look under the turbocharger - about halfway down the engine block, you should see the oil sensor. You will need to find the correct plug to replace the missing one (is a 2 pin plug, but only one side is used). Can get a picture if needed.

Thanks Ian,
Will have a look tomorrow.

Conversion nearly finished now, just got to sort out the auto shifter position....

Mystery solved - it is the oil pressure sensor wire, and found the plug on the sensor, so that was good.

Cheers for the help.
