Hi I have just put the 200 tdi engine in my series 3 which was a 2.25 petrol,
the engine is ok and starts fine. The problem is the wiring everything seems ok when i turn on ignition the cold start light comes on for a few seconds and goes out ok the oil pressure light and charge light come on ok, the engine starts fine and all warning lights go out ok, if i rev it and then turn off ignition the charge warning light comes on again but the engine does not stop I have to remove the connection to the stop solenoid, if i disconnect the charge warning light the engine starts and stops fine, I have swapped the alternator but no change.
There seem to be a live feed to stop solenoid coming from the charge warning light. Its driving me nuts so any help or suggestions would be great thanks
