Hiya,

I completed my 1.6 k in 2006 - so some of the detail is hazy now. I do remeber though laying the loom out and labelling everything very carefully before I started. I also had the Marlin 5as mini loom and this worked a treat - even leaves you with a diagnostic socket for a generic OBDII code reader :-)

Be patient, methodical and logical......it will work. (Oh, and don't cover up the cables with conduit / wrap until you've proven everything!!

I know I made a schoolboy error with a permanent live and ended up not being able to turn the engine off - took best part of a week to resolve, and was due to simply mis soldering a wire...so, I'll say again - methodical, logical, patient!!


..oh, and you will probably need an extra live feed for the front headlamps - the marlin loom I had was not geared up for the later design 206 'twin lamp' headlights
