Pulling the ABS fuse created some error codes
I looked at the wiring diagrams and my above assumptions are wrong. The OBD port does connect straight to the Ford ECU. I also tried a different scan tool in Ford mode and I was able to get it to connect; I guess that the other one wasn't good enough.
Therefore I should be able to implement a mode that goes straight into the Ford V8 ECU without going via the Gateway ECU as the T4.
Anyway, I have already gotten the Gateway ECU protocol working. These are the screenshots:-
V8 Gateway ECU
I think that the numbers for Revs and Coolant temp are a bit off, I need to re-check them.

I haven't finished reverse engineering all the live data parameters (there are lots) yet. I will update when that's done.
