I already have an amp power lead through the bulkhead, right next to the battery, and the coil is also next to the battery. All I had to do was thread the cable through the same grommet as the power cable and under the battery and then splice it in to the coil wiring, only bout a 15 minute job under the bonnet! | |

There is a green wire down behind the kick panel... would have been a bit easier than running one all the way under the bonnet but least you got it working! | |

Green wire should be on the loom behind the clocks on the big multiplug. | |

I have looked at othe posts on here, and most say to coonect the green wire from the tacho to a green wire on the ECU behind the drivers kick panel. |
