Whats the easiest way of re-connecting the loom to the engine? i was under the impression that all the block connectors were of a unique shape/size/colour so would only fit to their corresponding plug. I started looking at them and this is obviously not the case. Anyone got a good tip for doing this?

The easiest way is to label them when you take them off!
In the absence of that, you'll have to peel back the rubber boots and check the colours of the wires to each plug.

Is there a list available to show which colour wires go where?
