Told you it involved a lot of angry pixies!

There's a serious amount of angry pixies in the FL2 electrical system.

The alternator cable is the same size as the starter cable, it's actually the same cable, with a ring connector for the starter, sticking out the side, while the cable continues on to the alternator.

I'm now having a nostalgic moment reminiscing simpler times with our 300tdi discovery, which only needed 3 wires to make the engine run, ground to battery, starter, stop solenoid...

proper engine only needs an earth and a positive to the coil, proper engines have a winding handle to get them going

i thought we were mostly on biodiesel now? That has a really high flash point if i recall, over 100c

That's true. I think most are 5 or 10% bio now.
