Luckily I know the MOT guy :D

What side of the cluster is the SRS warning light in the 4th? the 4WS warning light is on the right hand side isn't it?

4WS is yellow and top right, SRS is red and top left.

I wonder if enough juice is supplied down the CEL wire to power all three lights?

If not a single relay and an inline fuse would sort that out. Be a doddle to wire that in.

I did think of adding a relay but it is more wiring that I dont really want there. I could just get rid of the original CEL light in favour of having both the SRS & 4WS acting as the CEL :?

That could work fine, just relocating the CEL light to make the Hondata shift light in a better position. :wink:

If the CEL feed ins't up to it, there's always plan B - cram this into the dash: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mosa-Diesel-G ... 19e055c402

:lol: I would deffo notice that. I think I would need to wire a relay for it :D

The wiring is done now. I decided just to use the 4WS light. The wire was easy to find and in the end took the whole feed to that light (ie junking the OEM CEL light). I found out that my BB4 does not have wiring for the SRS.

Good work. Maybe just save that item in your watched list though. You know, just in case. :wink:

:think: I can only see one problem with your suggestion Rob. There might be a bit of lag in it - do you think there's any chance it might hit the rev limiter before it told you to shift up? :?

Just be careful you don't get confused and look at the wrong section of the manual now... Otherwise you could spend a lot of time trying to work out what's wrong with your left rear speed sensor code when it was the ECT all along! ;)
