Perfect so I can tap into them to stop the engine from starting and they sound not to hard to get to (might regret saying that)! Cheers Stephen

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. Ive recently become the first owner of my own Defender 90 County. Its spent the last 2 years being upgraded. The engine is now a 300tdi which might play a part in my question! It has little security well non, I cant lock the passanger door and its on the list to get sorted ASAP! My plan is to fit an engine immobiliser, I've read that its pointless as its pretty easy to by-pass but it might still help even if its just a little. My electrical knowledge and skills are fine the skills I lack are with the defender and its wiring harness! The immobiliser is able to kill 2 circuits, my thoughts were glow plugs and starter. My next question is how do I gain access to these the switching current on the immobiliser is 10A for each circuit. I'm hoping there is a relay for the starter and I'm making the guess that the glow plugs wont pull more than 10A. My question is where do I find the relay and cables for this? Also it looks for 2 sources to confirm that the engine is running! So 2 12V supplies. My thought was a tap from the alternator and then I'm stumped for the 2nd, I was thinking the back of the key barrel but I was struggling to get to it, looks like its a whole dash to come off job would that be right? The easiest bit of it all will be the 2 seperate earth points! And I can do them fine. So to summarise, where is best to put my 2 immobiliser circuits, where do I find the cables/relays for them so I can intercept them and where is best and how do I get to 2 circuits that are only live when the engine is turning over? And how do I get to them? (Dash off/behind fuse board/engine bay). Hope someone can point me in the right direction!! I'm new to the defender scene so please go easy on me! Stephen
