Surely better to sell loom and get the proper one instead of introducing more joints, losing the reliability you were searching for when you bought a new loom ??.?

can you not just trace the loom back on the 3 door and swap the pins over?

shouldn't be too difficult?

but if you want a brand new loom, then i'd be very wary about who to go to, only go with someone who's been recommended here within the thread you post up if you decide to go that way

Just thinkin , surely the 2wd looms are all the same with no multiple plugs??

Cossie loom doesn't join car loom (lights/heater/fans etc) runs eng only and at one end you have ecu and about five wires to connect , batt plus,neg,coil,revs and fuel pump and just sensors along the length

If its a 4wd loom and no good to you, I would be interested in buying it, looking for a new/reliable loom.
