   Hi guys. Seems a shame to make my first post in the problem section lol.
   
   I have a 2000 W VTR mk2.
   The wiring loom plug that plugs into the coil pack has a snapped wire just where it exits the plug!!!
   Its one of the white wires and there isnt enough wire left sticking out of the plug to solder it back together.
   Am i totally screwed and in need of a new loom?
   
   Cheers for any advice.

   Can't you remove the pin from the plug attatch it to the snapped wire and reinsert it to the plug,
   
   Wouldn't think you would need a new loom though

   Theres really only a couple of mil of wire left on the pin but if i could get the pin out i would try.
   Its in tight.

   Guys does anyone have a loom they want to get rid of cheap? or better still an old knackered one that youd be willing to cut this plug from with say 3 inches of the wires still attached to it.
   
   Tried local scrappys- nothing
   Tried removing pin from plug- no joy and broke plug in the process lol.
   Ebay have a couple but £80 is a bit steep considering i only need one plug.
