[DML] Lucas Wire Standard Color Codes

[Peter Lucas <lucas@xxxxxxxx>]

I was just poking around some Land Rover sites, wondering what life  
would be like if I were to acquire yet another piece of UK automotive  
exotica. Since Rovers and D's share electrics manufactured by my long- 
lost uncle Joe, I discovered some technical information of some  
relevance to DeLorean owners.

In particular, it turns out that Lucas has a standard scheme for wire  
color-codes. If you download this file:

http://www.landroverparts.us/seriesLandRover/s_cat_pages/ 
series42to55.pdf

and scroll down to the fourth page, you will find a table of these  
standard codes.  A quick spot check suggests that the D follows this  
scheme closely enough for it to be useful when troubleshooting.

Oh, and speaking of Lucas electrics, the following may also be of  
interest:

Enjoy,
