depending what loom 2wd will have a white plug i think and the 4wd will have a black plug

wires are

black/red - fuel pump
green - tacho
black - ignition live
brown/white - water temp
brown/green oil press light
red/blue - 12v + iirc
blue - batt light

im sure thats it, but if you can get a pic up of the plug or tell me what colour wires you have on the plug i can help more

no need Richard, that is spot on, found the wires and you have confirmed it for us thankyou!! Traced them, joined and all work

Another question for you, on the 4x4 head where is the water temp for the dash display as the position it is found on the 2wd is still blank on a 4x4( front left), so where does the dash take a reading from/ ECU uses the water temp sender back right as per 2wd I know.
Thanks again

not much left to do then

mines been on and off the orad for the past 6 months, ive done just over 2k since new build,

reason its off the road again is the brand new turbo siezed up after 60 miles lol

so im just waiting on a turbo to arrive and th epowdercaoters to do 2 of my wheels the correct colour and it should be back

just need to sort the suspension settings up and go get the engine checked over with a written report to make sure its not my engine causing the turbo failures as its 2 turbos now

then it just needs paint until somethiing else goes wrong, but if it does then it will bebroke for spares lol
