When i 1st bought the escos, i had a friend come round and cut the multi plug out, we did one by one, they are colour coded, BUT.... they dont all match up, some are different colours each side of the plug.
He solderered them, then put shrink wrap, then bound the lot together.
I had a couple of running probs aswell.
It seem stupid they put the plugs right under the open bonnet vent, handy when it rains
When we pulled them apart they had wet in them
