Shoky have you fitted the Turbo clocks or left the N/A ones in?

When i did my conversion i used the Tubby clocks and no lights came on.

The connector down near the sump is for the oil level sensor. If the turbo sump doesn't have anywhere for it to plug into, just bridge the contacts and use the old fashioned dipstick :)

ive still got my na clocks in but will need to swop over anytime soon as the speedo is not working due to the turbo box having a manual speedo cable, as for the oil level light thers no connector on the the turbo loom. anyone know which wire on the chasis side of the loom it is so i could sort that out. too be honest not too fuss'd about that the engine is boosting well im just loving it :D

Told you the answer on your other thread. Easiest way out is put your original body loom back in.

I, and Paul Woods, NEVER change body loom!

should have just left the existing loom in, there was no need to replace it.

1) Fit an electric speedo adaptor to gearbox.

2) Remove oil level bulb in dash.

Bridging won't put the bulb out. The N/A sump contained a level sensor, not a switch.

Solution is to remove bulb from dash.

Get your body loom back in - and don't forget the earth ring behind the passenger seat. :thumleft:
