Yes you can, they are just high spec looms, unless connectors were changed, which seems unlikely.

The only thing I would say is, if you buy a second hand one from a breaker it will still be a loom that is at least 24 years old and could be on its way out. If you can afford it I would with no hesitation get a new loom.

Sound thanks. If you don't wanna disclose the price that's cool. Ballpark £500 - £1000...somewhere in that region? Does he also post the loom or have you to bring the car to him to make and install the loom? Sorry for the questions it's just that I've been wanting to do this job too for ages and couldn't find someone that did it. I've contacted a few places already
