Is that all Scorpio looms ?
That would explain why second hand 2.0/2.3 looms are being knocked out for £75.00 on Ebay

I got one too. 
I think the trick is in the *******german to english translation......
The loom you need Fords call the "Fuel cut off loom"
The one that is no longer available is the main car loom, but the dealers dont understand the terminology on their computer screen.
I'd give you the finis code but mine will be different as mine's a 24V.
Try askin FPUK for a "Fuel cut off loom" and I'd be surprised if they can't get it.
Regards Dave

Yeah, FPUK are top, they let you give a common-sense description of what you want, then send you a screen grab of the computerised microfiche with the bit in question marked, so you can double check it's what you want. Then they give you a nice discount. It takes a few days to arrive but knocks spots off the normal main dealer service.
Incidentally, is it just me, or do all car dealers act like they hate you for 'merely' buying (overpriced) parts, and not ordering a brand-new motor at full price? The parts desk is generally treated like a leper colony, with mechanics and salesmen sneering at your pathetic purchases.

I rebuilt the loom on my cossie estate last year when all the insulation broke down. Cost me £15 for a roll of wire from a local auto electrician and took me about 8 hours to cut out and replace each wire in turn - car hasnt missed a beat since. Not as difficult as I thought!!!!

I've got a Scorpio 2.9 Cossie with the loom problems, bought a S/H engine loom and found it to be worse than mine.......£$%"&*.... BUT NOW I'VE CURED THE PROBLEM !!!!! COST £20.00....
I bought 40 meters of 3.2mm heat shrink tubing from our local electronics supplier cost £14.00 and 10 meters of cable tidy . I cut through each wire at the inner wing plugs leaving 2 - 3 inches of wire ( 50 - 75 mm for the young ones ) and slid the heatshrink tubing up each cable allowing just enough at the end so I could identify the colour code of the wire.Then after shrinking,slide another 3-4 inches onto the wire , solder the wire back onto the tag you left at the plug ,slide the short length of heatshrink over the joint ,shrink it and it's done ...( much easier to do than to describe)....When all wires have been done tape them togther every 4 - 6 inches and wrap with flexable cable tidies ( electrical bendy tubing slit so you can open it up and put it on the outside of your loom JUST LIKE FORD DID )and tape up again .. job done. Everything still works because you are using the same loom, things are easy to identify becausw you leave 1/2 inch of origional wier with it.s colour code.... Kimi....
