Is there a second thread on this somewhere? Are my posts getting deleted? Or am I just forgetting to press "submit"?....
If you look under the hump for the back of the speedo on the rear of the cluster you will see five small holes in a row with a small gap dividing them into two and three. These are the socket pins for the green cluster connector.
The actual green plastic frame often isn't fitted, but you can see the plastic hooks that would hold it in place.
Most of the sockets are for the speed signal, so just stick 4mm or so of bare wire in and tape or glue it.
The clutch switch connections are just shorted together, and the brake wire just goes to the green/red normal brake light wire from the brake switch.
This wire is present near the top right corner of the accessories socket in the glovebox, along with the 12V+ supply for the cruise control.

Green socket frame can be unclipped from one cluster, if it's there, and clipped on to another.
Yes, you should have a brake light switch in your car - it works those two bright red lights on the back of the car.
Wiring diagram is in the Haynes manual, which is on line somewhere.

Clutch switch is just shorted out, then the wire goes onto the brake switch.
If this is a single green/red wire, then forget about clutch switches, just connect it to the brake light switch wire (at the accessories socket).

Is there a plug fitted in the top right hand corner of the accessories socket at the back of the glovebox?
