the wiring on cossie thats cracked is the one thatcomes from the main fusebox goes to abs /cruise round over rads at front also goes to washer pump,today i found cracked wires from double plugs on inner wing onto engine down to gearbox.iwould have thought that all models would share the same basic harneses layout as fuseboxs and ecu etc are all in the same places so whats so difficult in changing over.

loom from plugs on o/s inner wing is all different, they have fitted a 'dual purpose loom' in the engine bay, but I doubt that, I think there is a shematic of the wiring on the main site, you could check the multi plugs on the o/s inner wing to compare wire nos & colors, that may give you some idea, even a loom out job is a fair project.

yes you are right all different,having pullled the main fuse box wiring about to get it out , the harnes to the abs stuff {the wiring that comes out by the servo ] has completely disintegrated just under servo so had to get as much wiring from the scrapyard and rewire the loom.thanks for advice chaps
will post if rewire works.
