Where is the loom, I need to bypass my imobiliser, and was told that there should be 2 green wires near or under the loom and to cut them and to join either side together. Does this make sense to anyone???

The loom is a term for the whole collection of wiring in the car. It runs from the fuse box to all areas throughout the car. The fusebox is on the passenger side in teh engine bay and the wiring enters into the cabin behind the glovebox, so you would probably need to remove the glovebox door to get a good view.

I assume you are asking about because of your alarm issues. Did you follow the wiring loom from the alarm to see exactly where it enters the passenger cabin through the bulkhead? If you find this, then you should be able to see where the wires divide out and go inside the cabin.

Yeah, I had a look at it last night, and will do some more research tonight. All good fun.
