do you have aircon?

Do you want it to be permanently live or ignition switched?
what current does it need to draw?

Is that injector pump or pump in fuel tank.
Not keen in tapping into either of those, being what i would call critical circuits.
Spare way on back of fuse board ?

if it's de-EGR'd you have a good ignition live in the unused EGR modulator's plug but only to feed a relay's coil with it not more

Have a look for the fuel burning heater feed on the right hand side of the engine bay near the bulkhead. Two plugs, one six pin and one two. The two pin is permanent live.

You sure can
Sierrafery gave me a drawing to fit level sensor on the coolant expansion tank, so if you get burst hose the buzzer will go off.
