Thanks. It'll be going on soon
So just a few minor details to sort before MOT time. The GEMS benefits from an obd port, so I decided put it in this housing to go in the seatbox Literally only needs 3 wires 
Click image to enlarge Then I have an issue to sort. The engine starts but doesn't switch off. Apparently the ECU is pulling a live from the alternator, so it seems I may need a diode going in somewhere.....anybody any idea?  |

Click image to enlarge up date if you look ^ see very basic wiring for starting and stopping and charging much same as your 85 90 defender dash wiring Click image to enlarge point A start the ecu power up and also power down with the alternator excitation cct power from point B in the cct and not diode fitted ecu has no way switch off and stop the engine Last edited by dorsetsmith on 21st Nov 2016 9:30am.

Thanks Dorset, trouble is the 90 was originally a '85 4cylinder petrol, so I don't have all the harness etc
It's beginning to grind me down! |

your wiring shroud same as 200tdi wiring but instead wire too fuel stop sol in the fuel injector pump go to the coil
turn your key to off and you stop making spark at the plugs engine stops running, I no not 200tdi but good start it from V8 with no ecu and coil and disturber, but if you had ecu wired in the same place as the coil you can see how your problem will hap on if no diode is fitted in the alternator excitation cct to prevent 12 volt back feed from alternator Alt has diode in the excitation cct to prevent 12 volt back feed from alternator on engine stop when key is switch to off diode 4 amp rating i am going to stop reading post on my phone on the PC it all make sync
v8 pdf schemes http://www.legionlandrover.com/manuales/el...r%20v8.pdf my hats off to you  getting it to start and run, tacking me back to my prototyping days with dorman engine and gas engine electrical control up grade |

Thanks very much, I'll be stripping the steering column off very shortly together to the whole of the dash. Thanks for your searching, I really appreciate it. I also noticed you doing these things helping people out here and there on here. Thank you.

Dorset, I'm assuming you know quite a bit about electrics as you listed the 4 amp diode... do you know how/where I could get hold of one if possible?

Wow, thanks. Got home, saw your post, ran out, drove to Maplins, picked up diodes and will attempt to fit them later.
Thank you |
