Engine is M50 2.5 VANOS red label 413 ECU

Bought this engine a while ago but whichever halfwit gibbon removed it decided to cut some of the loom rather than disconnect!

Pictures speak a million words....

First up, looking at my M52 im presuming this is where the diagnostic plug was? and maybe permanent live and earth?

Second up is these two?

Thirdly, What is this? looks like the plugs been chewed by something?

Another photo of all three bits..

Thanks (in advance)

First one diagnostic, live and earth

Second will be the three relays missing, and the live to the E36 fusebox

Last one is the plug for the autobox

Right, ok....
Are all diagnostic sockets the same? ive got a few old looms knocking about i could cut one off, M20 M30 and im sure i have an M52 but not 100% sure.

Same goes for the relays?

Just had a thought...could i use the M52 loom on this engine with it being a VANOS M50?
