It took me a while to figure it out but the black wire on that 3 pin plug under the dash i wired into pin 16 of the m30 loom and when screwed together to the e30 loom it should pair upto a blue and green wire.
Just had a look at this - I assume you meant you wired the pins from under the dash to the body side of the loom, & then mated them up to the M30 loom? Wouldn't make much sense to do it t'other way round!

Anyway, swingometer pins are just as you described - pin 3 is indeed black/white on the M30 loom, so I can connect the yellow/white pin from the c104 to the vacant pin 3 on the body side of the c101. Sorted.

The rev counter's not quite right though - pin 16 is yellow/white on the M30 loom. pin 19 is the blue/green one... As both are unused on the body side of the c101, I'm at a loss as to how to work this one out! Oh for a wiring diagram of the m30 c101... Any ideas?

No mention of the unloader relay connection in the PFL C101 :)

Not had it running yet - in theory I could have done, but maybe I'm just scared! :lol:
this link doesnt work for me, i'm trying to do the wiring on my e30 m30 at the moment and realy need a diagram of some sort.
