Hi Col, I've e-mailed the instuctions but will post it here for the rest. It's taken a few days to get the instructions as the manufacturer is moving house.
Here we go!

Main Fuse Box - behind cover below steering wheel.

Thick Yellow wire from fuse box Ignition connect to LBB Red
Steel bar for cover hinges Ground - connect to LBB Black

Engine harness, (in engine bay) that runs over the vacuum pump

Brown/White Oil light - connect to LBB Orange
Brown/Yellow Alternator light - connect to LBB Green

Head temp sensor - connect to LBB Yellow

LBB White - no connection
LBB Purple - no connection

Re Calibration - See the calibration write up under the TDI wiring section - note do the setting with the Headlights on and the Air conditioner running.

Cheers

It is all up and running but I ended up doing it differently because the colours given were not the colours I found.

Here is what you sent

Here is what I did.

Main Fuse Box - behind cover below steering wheel.
Spare positive post in fuse block - Ignition connect to LBB Red
Black was connected to Ground near the horn - connect to LBB Black

White with brown trace at oil pressure sender - connect to LBB Orange - soldered on at the sender wire.
Brown no trace at rear of Alternator - connect to LBB Green - soldered on at rear of alternantor.

Head temp sensor mounted in front of head to the right of thermostat housing - connect to LBB Yellow
LBB White - no connection
LBB Purple - no connection

The White Purple and red wires were cut from the LBB loom and the wire used to connect the Temp sender, oil pressure and alternator.

Little Black Box mounted with double sided tape under spare switch block under clock and loom feeds down and under the bottom edge of panel. I mounted a four fuse block next to the horn. Water temp, oil pressure, head temp, and alternator all fused with 5 amp fuses. I put an inline fuse into the 12 volt ignition connection. Adjusted the temp alarm as per instructions.All wiring fed through plastic conduit, soldered and heat shrink tube covered joints.

All is working well. If you want photos to go along with this in case someone else has difficulties let me know and I will do some.

Thanks all for the help and advice (especially Jan the Entertainer). The temper got the better of me early on with this but in hind sight, with the right advice it wasn't too bad. It took me quite a few hours to do it all correctly with fuses and routing through the plastic flexi conduit stuff and of course finding the correct wires to join into.

God to hear you got it sorted.
