Nice to see it getting there Ali.12V battery in.

As with everything in this build what looks like 10 mins work takes hours as I discover some consequence of a decision made months or years ago but it's in and nothing bad happened when briefly connected.
I have to admit I'm nervous about connecting the HV again so have been doing lots of small things basically building up to the big reconnection.
This week will be busy so I'm not sure what will be achieved but hopefully we'll get it driving again
Yes mate, I already have a couple of bulbs mounted to a piece of wood specifically for that purpose and it will be getting used.Nice to see it getting there Ali.
If you're nervous about connecting the HV, then connect 2 X 100 Watt incandescent bulbs in series between positive the HV line. This will allow any short circuit current to simply light the bulbs, keeping any incorrect current under ½ an Amp
So I spent a few minutes looking at the wiring diagram and it looks like the Ignition 12V goes through the inertia switch first before going to Relay R1. As far as I can tell the neutral is a permanent connection as I think I metered it to ground last night but I'll need to double check.ECU provides the ground to the fuel pump relay yes.
I guess the ECU would need to be connected for this to work but if it did then I'd take that as a double win.If you do it that way I think you will find when the inertia switch (fuel cut off) breaks the ccu gets a command to unlock doors.
Makes sense.The inertia switch status signals to the ccu direct, no ECU involved on my circuit.

Thanks mate, post updated.I have an update for you here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/auto-1-8.385468/post-5577137
It can't be much Ali, as you've proven the system works in the MK1.
You'll work it out.
Hopefully you're right, I think the issue is in the loom between the inverter and the motor as when I touched the wiring the motor temp fell back to normal, I'm stripping the wires back to see where the problem is.You'll get there Ali. It's been great following this & teething problems are almost a given on such a big project, give yourself a pat on the back & enjoy a pint of the black stuff , all the best.
Yes it gets confusing when 2 different components are given the same abbreviation.If my VCU was in the passenger footwell or under the bonnet, I'd jolly well bolt it back underneath!!
LOL, I forgot about that.If my VCU was in the passenger footwell or under the bonnet, I'd jolly well bolt it back underneath!!
