As an update, I've got all of the warning lights working as they should (on the bench). I need to compare this to the defender outputs to see if I'm going to have to use any relays for warning light switching.

As a bonus the cluster controls the warning chimes and has a door switch input. When the ignition is off, the illumination is on and the door is opened you get a lights on warning chime which is cool Mr. Green

There are only 2 things I'm struggling with.

1) When you power the cluster up ("switch the ignition on") the warning chime and seatbelt light are on for about 6 seconds which isn't ideal as every time you start the car. (Goes and stays off after about 6 seconds).

2) The PRND gear indicator light is flashing constantly (all digits at the same time) the cluster is from a manual vehicle so I'm not sure why that's happening? 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Bear in mind also, if you run the disco ECU map to make tyje temp guage work properly, then the defender throttle pedal will be horrible, it's really on/off instead of a smooth flow of power.

The seat belt warning is a setting that can be adjusted with nanocom, off / timed / switched.

No idea on the second problem - but if you can connect it back up in a D2 for a nanocom just go through all the instrument cluster settings and make sure there are all ok

Thanks both Thumbs Up

Diesel_jim do you think that could be because the disco high and low range maps are reversed in the ECU? As in when the defender wiring/ECU setup is in high range it is using the low range disco map? So very slow throttle pedal for the first ⅓ or so of travel?

Jontd5 I hadn't realised that you could change those sorts of settings as I've never played with a Td5 Discovery. Can it be done with an original Nanocom or does it need to be a Nanocom Evo? 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I've no idea there, I only have the nanocom evo, I'd imagine the nanocom one would work. The connection to the instrument pack is a sub menu in the bcu settings, the seatbelt warning is one of them as far as I remember
