Need to get the engine loom right out so it can be cleaned up and fitted to the engine before it goes in, I couldn't seem to work it out but ran out of time today so i thought seek advice and do it tomorrow
Dissconnected the big plug, but it appears to enter the bulkhead by the battery tray covered with a big rubber cover ? Is it that what has to be removed ? Where does it disconnect ?
Or do i leave that and have to split the thick plastic sheilding/wrap that wraps a couple of loom bits together and seperate it there somewhere ?
Cheers

The bit going through the bulkhead connects to the ECU. You need to disconnect that and draw the loom and ECU plug through the hole into the engine bay.
Then the only things should be the battery connections and the C101 plug.
