is it just me that thinks 400 quid for a loom is extortionate?

You could try what I do, an that is to get the correct ford connectors,bullets an bayonets etc and the right crimping tool have a look on the net, the main prob is the wire and getting the right main coulor an trace ,so what I did was go to breakers an strip out more modern looms ,and make a good copy of the original it dos take time but it wont cost £400!!!

mostly I have used small split pins or a thick needle glued into a chopstick then insert into the reccess above the blade or pin to press the tab down have a good look at the connectors your see what Im getting at !

Seeing the quality of the proper built looms I think £400 is cheap ! I certainly wouldn't want to put one together for any less, its time consuming.

I'm not denying if you have a good understanding of electrics you couldn't DIY it but I definitely don't think £400 is steep for one.

£400 is bloody cheap. I paid £750 for mine (trade) mind you I had a few extras on mine.
