    James & Regin, my MBE ECU is part of the engine loom supplied by Swindon, connecting to the main car loom via a plug through the bulkhead. I have briefly looked at the Rover (Stack enabled) looms but these will all have redundant circuits and AFAIK the rover starter & oil pump are on the nearsisde unlike the Vx so mods will be required. Much easier to connect to the Stack though. Regin many thanks for the kind offer, I'll let you know how I get on! L7 FUN

    Alex, I suspect that the majority of the wiring under the scuttle will become redundant once the change is made. Currently thinking about stripping out the lamp wiring from my existing loom to make a separate lighting loom and then adding the Vx race loom found by Manxseven. This may be daft but at least I would know that all the important wiring and terminals were new. Gary, very kind offer but probably not necessary - I will phone later. David, that's encouraging thank you & just as I was beginning to lose my enthusiasm for the project. L7 FUN

    Regin, I have an engine loom from Swindon, the main loom connects to it under the dash. Regarding the Rover loom I thought that the K series starter motor was on the nearside unlike the Vx?? I think the Stack replaces all the gauges with just ignition, start button, lamps & horn left to wire? L7 FUN

    Thank you all for your replies. Paul, no damage, I am just concerned about all the bodges and loose ends that are under the dash plus corrosion, poor crimps etc at terminals. I do intend to lose the immobiliser during the job. Adam, I am still getting to grips with what actually comes with the Stack & how it connects to the main loom. Any further info appreciated. Manxseven, many many thanks I just have phoned Tony & reserved one of these! This could be the best way for me to start. Gary, there is no way I could do this myself but I will phone later for advice & a chat. L7 FUN

    I have decided to bite the bullet and replace the loom on my 13 year old VX, taking the opportunity to add a Stack type dash display when the loom is changed. I know that Caterham sell Rover & CSR looms suitable for Stack equipped cars - can I modify one of these for my VX? or could a new Vx loom be manufactured (I guess drawings must still available) using the old loom as a template. Being completely ignorant regarding all things electrical I would appreciate any advice on the above from any source, but particularly from my friends in the Vx community who have done similar work in recent years. Where & how should I start? L7 FUN

    Julian. Every year I put my car up on axle stands in November and then literally forget about it for a couple of months until I start preparing for the following season. The work starts off being a winter chore but as soon as things start coming together the first events are booked and deadlines appear. It is always the first drive of the year that really fires my enthusiasm. Enjoy your family for a couple of months and then come back to the car - you will have lost nothing . Sell it and it will be gone forever along with all the effort that you have invested in developing something that sounds truly special with an amazing spec. L7 FUN
