    Well who'd have funk it! I thought it was just one big block passing across others. Pffft. The burnt end I would suspect being my heater problem and a line from that somehow. The link to paul was great, was TD5 related mines 300tdi but I get the jist enough to see its not as straight forward...

    Here is the blue block in question, there is one further along behind the dashboard area. The plastic tray etc removed to get access to it. Can you confirm it is indeed just a block of earths also?

    Ok guys - next instalment! Been busy taking care of a load of other things - including a new 90 now in resto mode! (Bit off way more than I can chew! - then new dog in the family means working time is minimal at present!) I bought ages ago an EGT gauge so went about stripping back the stupid...

    Guys, the follow on from photos. Because of photo-****-it nothing is in order etc anymore and I'm losing the will to live to try and piece it all back together. Page one has a big splash of random photos though. Coming in sections of 5 and we'll see where we get to from there! Not the...

    It's been a hectic little time with the truck, I've had a few threads on the go and ignored this one! Having figured out from the original owner and the garage he used that the cambelt hadn't been done, sat at 136k she was due! Some sweat and panic proceeded but I decided to bite the bullet...

    Ok, further developments. Ran a continuity test - all grounds I tested so fuse box to neg, bulkhead bolt to engine block, some neg's off the gauges to neg battery. All showed fine. Turn the ignition on however, the grounds on the gauges was showing open circuits. Popping a cable direct from...
