Can one of the experts please tell me (in detail) where the cable goes through the bulkhead? Below and to the left of my fuse box I only seem to have one hole through the bulkhead and it already has quite a few things running through it.

Many thanks for your help,

If you look at the big rubber grommet through the bulkhead from the glove box side, you will see it has a number of partly formed holes.
I'm not familiar with the cruise loom but would expect it to have a grommet on it which should match one of these part cutouts.
You will have to finish removing the rubber from the appropriate hole with a scalpel or similar.

exactly as brian describes and use a bit of wire to pull the loom through, it's a tight fit and a bit fiddely but it does go :D
