Thanks for reply. Sorted it now- there was an instruction sheet in the box…!
Have used the chunky cable to go straight to the battery and left off the brown positive cable on the alternator. Other 2 cables are warning light and tachometer- both connected fine and all good and working. Voltage at battery now 14.4v when engine running, so that’s sorted.

Might not do any harm to connect the old wire as well if it's still there? If nothing else it will mean that it can't move around and short out anywhere as I doubt there will be a fuse anywhere in it. Just a thought.

Not much of an update but played a gig with my folk rock band at Moira Furnace in Leicestershire. Pulled the Disco up to the blast furnace to unload, and accidentally re-created a 1990s Land Rover promo shot (especially if you ignore the gazebo)!
