Well it took longer than i thought but it's finished
I'm pleased with it just a shame you can't buy all of the plugs unless someone knows any better??

Neat job !
I think some of the connectors can be bought - either called junior power connectors or junior timer connectors, not 100% on that.

Mike, when we asked Vehicle Wiring Products they said they may look the same BUT they are NOT the same. I sent one to them to check. They are specific to Ford.

That occurred to me also! Quite a few of the Ford ones have gold plated contacts as well

You can use the mini amp timer ones as a replacement as there the best one's avaliable apart from that all of the enginwe plugs are avaliable with the exception of the ISCV and the TPS (this is almosst the same as the coil pack plug for a 4cyl but not quite)
The Gearbox end the plugs are avaliable if you really want them at £400 for the set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's after all only 5 plugs.
The main aim of the loom was to replace the wire and protect it better more than anything else but every plug that can be new is new

You might have a 'bad' solder joint? Easily done. (?)

This looks very much like the loom that was made up/refurbed for me by Mark Rogers, trading as Bespoke Looms.
Note that the gearbox main multiplug is wired straight instead of a right angle, so it touches the hot bits underneath.
If anyone wants information about this, feel free to message me
