2. The Neutral switch. I know its the Green/Orange wire (brown plug) but I cant find the corresponding wire.

Found it courtesy of club-s12 :

The neutral switch on the CA which is green/orange goes to the neutral switch on the s12 harness which is also green/orange

I know from the How to thread that you add the Four diodes to the coil pack wiring. Problem is which wire on each coil pack do you T-off from ? Its apparent the one on the Left but on the left when you look at the plugs which way round ??? The picture I've taken shows no.4 which has (from L to R) thick Pink thick White and tin Black. The others have similar wires from L to R with different colours.
Anyone help me out

It's the one on the left when you look at the rear of the plugs. I can check on my loom if you want before you do it.

I got it working on my mates bluebird. You'll need 4 thick diodes from maplins. The smaller ones allow the current to go the other way and the car won't start.

Tap a wire into each coilpack. There are 3 wires, when looking at the back of the plug, its the left one you need. From each wire put in line a diode so the current can only flow away from the coilpack. Then join all 4 wires together into one and take them to the original wire that feeds the rev counter. This could be found behind the dash (don't know the wire buts it probably blue) or if you still have the original section of loom in the car take it to the connecting plug that connects to the S12 coil earth. Its a single wire plug, the wire is blue.
