tech help - tacho wiring

[detroitbrit]

Does anybody know/have a wiring diagram for a turbo r that actually tells me where the wires go to and from on the back of my tacho. In fact if somebody has a complete wiring diagram for the 1980 to 1998 cars I will be willing to part with some of my "pocket money" for a copy .

thanks

Mark

If you go onto e-bay, you can get a workshop manual and parts listing on disc. Very detailed and very usefull, especially the drawings.

got the electronic version of the workshop manual, but I find the wiring section next to useless. So looking for good oldfashioned hardcopy that folds out.

I have a 1984 mulsanne (california car) with a lot of bespoke stuff, such as 19 inch wheels, mulliner vents to the front wings and bonnet, 98 RT bumper covers and a custom center console that features a 7 inch nav screen/system and rear seat dvd system. Its metallic grey, with a black and mulberry interior, engine turned dash/console,door accents upper and lower. Oh and I did all the work myself. Product of too many years working in the automotive industry as a designer/engineer/consultant.

That sounds pretty cool, what do the locals make of it?

Here are a couple of links concerning my car, posted before this forum was created.

I think its the only one in my local area. My next door neighbour is a police officer, so it is well known to them!!!. Given the really bad winters we have (typically -10 to -15 centigradeand lots of snow) the car only comes out in spring/summer. My daily driver is something far more boring and easier for the locals to fix ( lincoln town car). I find that the local (factory) dealer is a little too snooty for my tastes, and I miss the "warmth" of the indie dealers back home.
