...remove it and still have a car that runs?

I want to take the OBC out of my track day 325i and put it in my Sport but when I disconnect the black box above the glovebox the car won't start anymore. Anyone know a way round this?

Or has anyone got one of the black boxes for sale?

Cheers,
Bryn.

LOL

there is a plug from the relay box which goes to 2 THICK green wires. This is the cut off for the fuel pump.

Join the 2 wires together and the car will start.

its the white plug in the TOP RIGHT of this pic.

Cheers buddy, I was hoping it was as simple as connecting some wires together :D
