trying to get my van to function as it should as the PO deceided to rip the speedo etc out along with any other wires he could find that would make my life that little bit more difficult! today i was trying to get the reverse lights to work but then discovered that there is no feed from the coil to power the bleeders. so with the van running and in reverse gear i tried the wire going to the gearbox switch (which is working according to the continuity tester) on the spare spade on the coil which upon contact caused the engine to stall momentarily so that ended that little experiment!! does it need to be connected before firing up as i didnt really want to do that incase i am doing something totally wrong but it did seem to cause a massive drain on something, thus causing the engine to stall.

I hope there where 2 of u, if u had the engine and in reverse..
the Black reverse light feed wire needs to go on the + or 15 marked wire.. with the other black wire and not with the green wire that goes to the condensor
