Hey guys, find below the cluster plugs, which number is the rpm wire do you know? I can't follow the wiring diagrams at all.

 

I would say its 22 the Tachometer line

Ah! That makes sense!

Yep matches the tach wire colour from the ECU... now to find a live / illumination and ground wire! The joys of wiring in confined awkward spaces..

Got the live and ground and rpm done .. now to try and nab that illumination wire from the back of the gauges... what a pain in the ass it is getting plugs out the back of the gauges in situ, and trying to squeeze my head between it and the windshield. Need to have it finished as soon as I go home today so I can take it for the mot re-test. Fun fun fun

Sounds like your getting there matey.

From that diagram, would I be right in saying then that pin,

 

11 = +12v

14 = -ve/ground?

 

TIA.

I'm not too sure mate, I used 9 as the illumination, and the live/earth came off the headunit (CD player). as it can be fed through into that compartment, ill see if I can take a pic of how the gauge sits :)

cant wait to see you finnishd motor..gona be a cracker..cant help on your q but stick in theyr..its goona be a monster when its finished
