Hi Guro's
Just done a crossover for a Td42 from a SWB to a LWB
and notice the tacho is sitting right around past the 8 etc
is there anything special i needed to do when hooking up the wiring in the LWB.
The oil pressure is no connected yet either as i need to get a 2 wire pressure switch so my gauges work
Will this have something to do with it.

Was the LWB a petrol or Diesel?

You need a diesel dash for it to work.


also look at the plug where it connects from the cam sensor

Thanks Michael

I worked it out, when I bought the car it had no motor or box and the guy had completly change the wiring from petrol to diesel.
The dash was also changed and the tacho had spun around to the 8rpm
so all i did was take the clear cover off around put the needle back around to the stop, and guess what it works

so thanks again
Lee
