Only difference brown 1 pin and blue 2 pin, is that the 1 pin grounds through it's body to the engine and the 2 pin grounds from the second wire. As long as you connect the power wire from the two wire loom to the brown single connector it will work fine.

@wammers had bit of bad luck battery was knakered seems like diesel was not passing through the solenoid bled to pump ok. The solenoid did click but no diesel getting to high pressure pipes. I re-synced it also no issues. You able to help in anyway at all?

You need to bleed the air out of at least a couple of the injector pipes by leaving the union loose at the injector while cranking.

Yeah but no diesel was getting through to the injectors?

Is the stop valve on the FIP connected properly?
It took a fair bit of cranking to get the diesel through on mine this week after re-timing the FIP, I had to connect a tractor battery with jump leads to get enough power.
