I connected to the original ignition wiring system and nothing was removed so if there was a diode in the wiring it will still be there. However if I do need to fit a diode what type should I get.

The diode is normally inline between the green wire from the ignition switch and the fusebox, at the fusebox end. But it’s often missing. If you need to add a new one then see this post for some suggestions:

I have ordered a 1N4001 diode just need to check which way round to fit it. Is it colour band end towards switch or away from switch. I am not sure which way the little goblins in the wires run. Where Sherlock Omes comes in I have no idea.

I say I have ordered a diode I had to order a pack of ten for £1.70. what a rip-off

Sell the remainders off on here-£1.50 each incl p&p and you'll be slightly better off!

Hadn't thought of that I hope the Inland Revenue don't monitor this forum I could become the diode king making as much as £18 a year
