== Wiring Colours ==

These apply to MG cars, but there are some parallels with the Elise s1 at least - hopefully might prove useful!

Wire colours as referred to on the circuit diagrams in the service manuals:

*B= Black
*N=Brown
*R=Red
*O=Orange
*Y=Yellow
*G=Green
*U=Blue
*P=Purple
*LG=Light Green
*K=Pink
*S=Slate
*W=White

Naming convention:

UR = Blue wire with red stripe
RU = Red wire with a blue stripe

Some occurences (check against service notes, some will be irrelevant and MG specific)
