Re: Purple tag rack swap complete kit

The steering pipes are specific to a m52/s54 power steering pump, I believe the banjo bolt is a different size when compared to a m20 pump.

Re: Non start

Dme is definitely in the right location, it doesn't click when removing or pushing back in but if I jump the pins 87a 87b and 30 icv starts buzzing so does the abs pump like what would normally happen if you turned ignition on.

How would I supply or rectify the ignition 'on' signal?

Re: Wiring loom auto v manual (m20)

I believe that mod is done when you use a m30 loom I'm not too sure but if so it's only two wires.

Big relief with the auto loom working seems a manual loom for an m20 is upwards of £100 now, not surprising with the way prices are going lately supply and demand I guess.
