JAPANESE AUTO DISCOVERY GOES MANUAL
I am putting a 300Tdi engine and an R380 five-speed manual gearbox into a Japanese import Discovery 1. My problem is fooling the car into thinking it’s in park/neutral to allow us to start it. We have the Japanese transfer ’box with the inhibitor neutral switches on top already installed in the car, and I believe we can fool the car by grounding a relay that’s located in the passenger footwell. But I don’t know which one; for example, the colours of wires on the relay and which one to ground. Can you help?

The simplest way to deal with this wiring is at the original auto’s wiring connector, a cylindrical five-pin connector with only four wires going to it. The green/yellow and green/brown wires are for the reversing light and need to be wired into the manual ’box
