western Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 its a low oil pressure light, switch in the yellow ring in pic attached the bigger unit upper left is the sensor for oil pressure gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo110 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Argh I see so in my filter head how many holes should I have im guessing I need 3 then. 1 for temp gauge, 1 for pressure gauge, and the last for existing dash light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The low oil pressure light switch & gauge sensor use the same hole, as you can see in that photo, the oil temperature sender lives in the hole on the upper forward face as shown in the photos in the linked thread. I'm working 12 hour days this week so may not reply until I get home, but will try to look in during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I can't help with that, so you'll have to ask everyone else on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo110 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 No problem.. I got it nearly figured. It’s just the immobilising part. it’s got 3 x immobilisation points 1 of which says to go to engine cut off (max 20a) that’s where I’m stuck with know nothing about amps etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Engine cut off I think would be the fuel stop solenoid on top rear of the injection pump. thats the only item that shuts the fuel off to stop the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool .. I’ll tap into that I guess then. Assuming it will be less than 20a ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 No idea, only because I've never measured the amp load of the fuel shutoff solenoid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider fitting another solenoid out of site for the immobiliser to operate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a clockwork diesel there is very little electrically you can do other than the fuel supply, hopefully somebody else may have more suggestions.

Could I do starter motor? No ideas when it comes to power loads etc. I do have other levels of security, it’s all about slowing them down until I can let the dog out 🐕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever you do, keep detailed notes for later fault finding years down the line. You might think you'll remember but I bet 5 years down the line you won't!
