I know someone with a spare TD loom from an early TD (TD looms changed when engine changed from a U25TD to X25DT)...  ::)


Not sure what its worth (alas, cannot give away, as I have to recoup some of the money I spent on the replacement engine)  :-/

You stole my idea!  >:(

Only joking mate, good luck.
Before you start to go mad heavy on it, look in to the FBW and how it joins to the engine - this is what I was having trouble with.

why do you need to buy another torque converter?

V6 one is different from TD

 so sue me !!! ;D ;D ;D

As for FBW, I am gonna rip apart the interior and trace the wiring from the pedal thru to the engine bay and if need be, loom it seperatly, i think this is the only way. i will post updates.  :y
