I haven`t changed my mind, I`m reconsidering my options at the moment given

I`ve got it back for a lot less than I was expecting it to be.

I need to make sure the engine is fine before I do anything else, plus I`ve

asked for a copy of the estimate they`ve used to write it off to see what

the official opinion is on what needs to be done to repair it properly.

I`m making a custom loom for an engine that`s going to run third party

management. I`ve got all my cabling and bits `n` bobs, but I can`t find

anywhere to buy the Bosch connectors that are used on injectors and various

other sensors.

I don`t want to use the horrible old, dirty ones from the old loom. Anyone

know a decent place?
