   It took me 5 weeks to do mine, so a pain is an understatement as there will be alot of unused wires on both the interior and engine loom that are not used/compatible. Also you have to work out what each wire controls individually.

    ive just done the same, ive now started over with a 3 plug loom and ecu.
    nothing worked, inone of my dials, my fan or my reverse lights! my battery light and handbrake light were permanently on too.
    there main problem i had was the fan,on the vtr its controled by the ecu but on a single plug car its controlled by a sensor in the rad and doesnt connect to the loom at all

    By the way you can wire the fan switch from the rad to a relay and then directly to the battery and then it will work as normal.

    Chris!!! he was asking a perfectly good question, so why the need for muppet? Many people ave problems with spelling. If your that ignorant to other peoples problems, may be u should keep you'r thoughts to u'r self!!!!! Rich I hope the converstion goes well sorry couldn't be as helpfully as some!!
