   Its usually the loom if its been done on a conversion
   
   Check everything is plugged right, if so might be a change of loom

   I think its just a knackered loom, not the fact its wrong.
   Mate of mine had a fookload of trouble with his doing the same, got a new loom and fit it and worked fine

   I'm not sure if you can repair them tbh as i'm not really sure what the cause is. I aint speaking from 1st hand experience and don't wanna lead either of you down the wrong path, but seeing as nobody has replied
   
   But ye, mate just replaced the loom and everything worked fine. He has done alot of these conversions and come accross that problem twice so it's a good chance
   
   Don't hunt me down if im wrong though

    Little late, but the interior connections are not the same! as a example the Oil wire is on the 16V loom first on the second row of connectors.
    
    On the 1.4 loom it is somewhere in the middle..
    
    If there is no info about it i am fixing this tomorrow on my own engine, if i have time left i will make a small how-to.

    Please post your findings. I just did a reshell of a rallycar and put a 2000 single plug 16V engine into what i think was a 2002 silver top 3 plug shell. I used the 2002 loom that was in the shell, and now no dials are working, alternator light stays on, and temp dials not working either. I would like this fixed, as i'm not really in the mood for changing the entire loom :-)
