how easy is it to change a engine loom, is it worth while removing any parts like inlet??
any pointers chaps, looks like this is my next job on my list

The engine bay side of things is easy just take your time and arm your self with loads of cable ties

The only bit of hassle it the actual removal of the odd loom ie how much your removing and how the new loom wires into the old loom behind the dash.

I'm sure Fraser will talk you though it easy enough

Me thinks it was a nightmare

Wouldn`t do it again , there are about 5-6 wires which go inside the car .

ive had 2 prices on looms now, i was wondering how much actually goes in to the car is it easy enough to get at under dash or would it pay to remove glovebox ?? roughly how long do you think it would a sat morning job

Would be a sat morning job if you knew what doing. Ryan fitted my loom for me as it needed splicing into the original loom.
I would want one with all the fuel relays etc built in so it nigh on stand alone next time instead of a splice in type loom.
Ask both people that have quoted you on a fitting guide

deffo remove inlet manifold and if you have aircon then its even worsethe hardest part is stripping out/untaping the old loom and working out which wires you need to keep id budget for a good days work or more if youve never done one before

Not difficult in the slightest, BUT it IS fiddly as fook.
Mine took a day having never done it before, and I removed the inlet - just made life easier when it came to getting the the grommit etc...
Like Paul, i'd highly recomend Ryan for the loom / fitting - top work, and really knows his stuff!
