    Well the main backbone of the loom goes behind the engine, from the ECU, round the, then most of the branches out to wherever it needs to go. Then the backbone left over, goes passenger side of the gearbox mount to the radiator fan, then a few plugs go upto the fusebox, and then the rest to the radiator/fan unit.
    
    That is a good starting point, then the plugs can only fit into a number on sensors in the area where they fall around the certain branch of the loom.
    
    IMO should take 20mins to plug it all in, if that. The single wires on the loom with ring terminals, go onto earth points. You'll have a few wires with ring ends that go onto the back of the starter motor. The bigger rings go on the long thread, the small rings go on the small thread.
    
    Apart from that you should be fairly okay, post pics of sensors if you get stuck.

    put the loom in all its clips and main plug and its fairly obvious tbh, most plugs are colour coded and any similar ones only fit in one place anyway.
    
    again any specific ones you are having trouble with, give us a shout, i had looms 4/5 time on and off my car
