    they are fairly simple cars, 
    i did a 351 conversion to My XD and XE, the XD wires unwrapped just plugged in to the V8 plugs other than the air con wire needed to be longer.
    the XE was EFI, and i just bought an engine bay loom from a carby one and plugged it in under the dash.. simples(also 6 cyl, repeated the XD step, extending one wire)
    Yeah I know there simple cars but when been apart for over 6 years and and pulling bits from other cars to build 1 car it's all plug and play. I've sorted everything but the oil gauge I've disconnected it from every where including the instrument panel and it still goes to full. I have plugged in another dash same thing.
    So what wire other than the white and pink stripe would cause oil pressure guage to do this any ideas.
    Cheers

    you have no issues with the senders, somethings earthing somewhere i suspect. .. might need to unwrap the wires and take a look?  
    unless you are missing an earth wire, i cant remember what issue i had back in the day
    Cheers mate thanks for the help I sorted the temp gauge I plugged the elec choke onto temp and temp onto choke lol.
    I think I've sorted the fuel gauge I think it needs a earth. And as for oil I have no continuity between cluster and sender. Will look into that tomorrow.

    does it do the same when you unplug the senders?
    they will be no different EFI to clevo so not sure what you've actually done(hidden wiring?) 
    if they still go to full unplugged, they must be shorting out somewhere is my guess
    Yes unplugged today and the same thing also now since I hooked up the rear harness fuel goes to full as well.
    Std harness just cleaned up only extended a few wires and shortend some.

    Hey all rewiring my 84 esp was efi now clevo.

    Have replaced complete loom and dash.

    Have nutted out most of it but having troubles with my temp and oil gauge when i go to reds on ignition they go straight too full. Both senders are new

    Any ideas to point me in the right direction seems like I have resistance issue.

    Ok so I'm ready to buy my paint for my XE ESP and I want to know the colour codes for the black on the lower half of the car and also the code for the gold on the snowflakes. I have been told the lower is code V charcoal but paintshop has no description for this.

    Any help would be awesome thanks Crusty

    That's what I'm after Thom but I have run a smartlock bypass module so smartlock has totally been disabled. The light will be needed in case I break down or have issues without it it will take a lot longer to pin point the problem I have the pin out of the ecu I will post it up tomorrow and hopefully someone can help

    Cheers
