The resistor wire is only on XDs that had points ignition (Cast iron 6cyl). Alloy Heads and V8s had electronic igition and no resistor wire.

The doors are the same for manual or electric. Front door regs bolt in the same electric or manual. Rear door electric regs bolt in different to manual regs but the holes are in the door for either.

The light green vacuum hose should not have vacuum on it when the heater is on. It will have vacuum when the heater is off, this will close the heater tap to stop hot water getting to the heater core. On an XF Ghia, ZL or FE, the vacuum is controled by a solenoid valve that switches the vacuum to the heater tap (light green) vacuum hose. The solenoid is near the relays to the left of the steering column, it should click when the temperatere control lever is coming to the full blue section, not the blended red/blue, the control lever also operates the blend door and thermostat via an electric motor. On a GL,S or Fairmont it is not the same the vacuum is controled by the temperature control directly, and the blend door and thermostat are control via a cable from the temp control.

The solenoid near the relays to the left of the steering column might be stuffed.

I am reusing some of it like bypass valve, intercooler, HTD pulleys, shortened shaft, and some pipework, the rest I will be keeping.

That is my current setup, I am in the process of changing it to a M112, made some more brackets over the weekend, just need to finish the outlet and bypass bits and it will be up and running.
