I've been doing some research into this and found some different ways and wondered what was easiest.

Apparently there is some wiring to do to remove the "you can't start me as i'm in D or R" feature of the auto box

basically it's 10pm and i just need the quickest way to do this so we can test run the engine tomorrow. quick and easy is best

any help most appreciated

thanks

Up behind the glove box there is a think black and yellow wire which the inhibit loom plugs into. Just unplug it and join the wires together.

That's correct. The two (now) spare wires go to a relay which can be removed, along with the wires from it that go to the gear lever area.

P.S. I've looked at the link you posted, read the relevant part several times, and still have no idea what he's on about!
