Thabks for the info allready! i found on the black box dizgnostics website some details and there is mentionned for pin 10 (middle connector abs ecu) 'throttle position sensor'. i dont have a rpm signal from the engine connected to the abs ecu. But even when the engine is not running, just live igntion and i switch gears all the lights will come on. Just noticed i have the following fault: 04-01 pump relay open circuit 004 times same problem or will this be somehing different?

I'm currently fitting a V8 engine + autobox in to a 2004 Defender Td5. The original defender has ABS-ETC and I want to re use this. The only wire I dont know what to do with is the grey-purple. Cant't find any info about this wire, to what to connect this wire or.... I can activate the abs module via the nanocom and all works fine, ABS pulp works and each wheel give readings. When I start (or just the ignition on) the V8 all lights go out just the ABS stays on. As soon as I select gear all lights (abs - etc - handbrake) go on. Dont know how this is possible as the autobox has no elektronics. Who can help - urgent! Many thanks Regards Alain

Hi Paul Will have a look which version this is. Which version does have the central locking option? Got a few AS10 modules from td5s, hope this works?

Hello, I'm currently installing central locking in a Defender 2.2Tdci. The Defender had all the connectors factory fitted, also all fuses and looms were fitted. We just had to change the door internals and plug them in. Now it will not work :-( You can just arm the immobilizer and alarm with the plip, no central locking. I've changed the setting from the alarm (group 1 - group 2) to the settings from a Defender 2.2Tdci that had factory fitted central locking. No result at all. Any tips - tricks to get this to work? many thanks Regards Alain

Ok thanks for the update! You use a V8 flywheel from a manual V8?

Hello, Does anyone knows if you can fit a Range Rover 4.0V8 to a Defender 300Tdi R380 gearbox? if it is possible were can I find adaptor plates and clutches for this set-up? many thanks for the information! Regards Alain

Me again with the EDIS problem. A while ago I said that it fired on all 8 plugs, it did as you felt the power. Now I wanted to change the plugs, didn't had the time to work further on it, and it fired again on only 6 plugs.... went a little grrrr.... SO tried the other (old) EDIS module and the same. Checked again the wire that goes to the coil pack and is responsible for those 2 cilinders, still fine! when I move the wire arround it still gives a signal. Then I took the papers you gave me to measure the voltage: Pin 8 - 9 - 11 is 13,45V Pin 12 isn't constant it oscillate between the 10 - 11V. So not good at all. Did the test with both EDIS modules and same result. WOuld it be possible that it is the plug that fits on the edis module that causes the problems? Maybe that caused the smell on the EDIS module and isn't the module broken after all? Thanks again! Regards Alain

Bowie, not at the moment. As I just ordered 1 to test if I was correct, you never know ;-) So now I can have a look if I can find one over in Belgium if not I just have to sent an email to Nige to order 1.

Bowie, I always have that kind of "luck". If you says it can't break I will break it or it get damaged. Frustrating, but after all those years you"re getting used to it. CwazyWabbit, good idea, wil do this and put the result also over here!

oops explanation wasn't complete. I modified the weterproof box as I didn't had enough space where I had space to fit this. Made the cover out of an aluminium plate and there I mounted the edis module on. plate is 2mm and 15x 30cm, so think that isn't to bad?

Edis module is mounted together with the ECU in a waterproof box te keep all the dust and dirt away. module is bolted with the 2 holes that are in the module. The box is mounted on the rear bulkhead and I never went that deep in the water.

Ok so the problem is solved. Received another edis module, plugged it in and the spark was back on the plugs that didn't had one. Just need to change the plugs, drove almost 4 day's as a V6... the old EDIS smelled to burned elektronics, 99% of the time that isn't good ;-)

Jes 12V on the coil and edis modul

Jes everything is ok for the rest. Anyone contact number from nigel? Or can sent one with DHL overnight?

In what kind of car you can find this EDIS8 module

All wires are ok. So guess its the EDIS8 module thats game over? Or would the Ecu also be a possibility?

Changed the coil pack and still the same. After some further searching I found that plug 3 and 2 didn't get any spark. So hopzfully it is the wire with the green stripe that causes the problem. How can I check if the EDIS8 module isnt broken? And from what car is this, so I can track a spare one. Or numbers so we can order one. Thanks!

Or type numbers

Do you know types of cars that uses those coil packs? Or that I can use as i dont have a spare one. So i can track a new one for spare

Jez they were all fine. The plug that didn't work we tried with a temporary fix to see if it would work but still no spark. And suddenly it all worked back again. So i dont touch it anymore. But if it happens again I know what to try. As I tried almost everything I know.

Sorry, if you stabd in front of the engine it is the second cilinder on the right side (counting from the front)

Hi Yes MS and edis. Bought the full kit from nigel, he build the ecu. I switched the low voltage connectors. And if you heard rhe engine there was only 1cilinder that didn't work, you also could see that on the spark plug.

We are competing in an offroad challange in Polland, yesterday the car went perfect: as a dream.Today he suddenly runs on 7cilinders. We checked the spark plugs and 1 was not ok. So for the safety we changed them all.All went ok for 10mins and the same problems again.We started to search further and found that there was no spark at all at that spark plug.We tried with another lead and stil no spark.Then we switched the connectors on the coil packs. Then we have a spark and both coil packs work as they should.When I change it bback again no spark.It is the coil pack where you have the green-brown signal wire.Do you know what the problem is? Engine is a 3.9 with thor mannifold.Could you pleaze let me know somethingRegarfs

the injectors from a thor looks the same but when you compare them you will see that the thor injectors are smaller.

Filmed the gauges from the attempt: http://s31.photobucket.com/user/alanius/media/20130609_144548_zps4276f33d.mp4.html I guess the gauge from the advance, stays on 10° that is because I "programmed' it on 10° engine stalls at the end of the movie, hope this is solved when I try to tune the VE table. The strange noice is from the fuel pump, not the engine
