Don't think there is a wire with this signal mate, I didn't bother with mine, just rigged the handbrake wire up and that was it

Does the mk3??
Cuz the turbo timer needs to pick up a signal of movement so it can switch on!!
Just finding one, what colour is it?

nope only the mk4`s
its a little round cheap lump of plastic that screws directly to the speedo mount on the gearbox
the speedo cable then comes from the top of this
its got 2 or 3 wires coming out of it
