Intercepting the signals in an old Mercedes Diesel

AndrzejM, OldBeaver (myself) and others are long time seeking how to use MPGuino in an old diesel, like a Mercedes from 1987 to 1995.

One of the signals to be used is VSS. One step forward would be to find an easy point in the car where one can intercept this signal in the cleanest and safest posible way.

As we talked with AndrzejM, the other signals has to be taken from the injection system. The question is how to get them easily, to conduct them to the cabin to be processed.

Maybe the test terminals may be useful for this purpose. At least, rpm can be taken there.

Does anyone know where to intercept the effector signals from the ECU, for example? I am talking about the physical spot in the car and the practical electronic way to do it. Not just the place in the EDS diagram.
