just a quick question, when doing the M50 conversion how do all the looms etc work? obviously use the M50 loom but how does that connect into the rest of the car and the ecu etc?

sorry for the newbie questions.

Yep that's Dan loom

Plug & play, no messing about trying to follow circuit diagrams and making a mess of soldering. I've used 2 now and each time the car has fired into life straight away.

Worth having a word with EKO, I think Tony has a spare M50 and isn't too far from you
