NickMc Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm going to copy a 300 tdi defender loom I have as they're impossible to get second hand or new. The only connector I'm struggling to get is the white 6 pin one at the Bulkhead end. Does anyone know a scource for them? I think it's an Econoseal type.

Gaz13 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi just finishing off rewiring my 1989 Ninety to 1999 spec, have used a combination of connectors from EasternBeaver in America for the Sumitomo connectors and Polevolt U.K for the Econoseal type connectors. Hope that Helps Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm sure PaulMc will spot this & advise the correct connectors. have a look here or one Polevolt & Autosparks websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm going to copy a 300 tdi defender loom I have as they're impossible to get second hand or new. The only connector I'm struggling to get is the white 6 pin one at the Bulkhead end. Does anyone know a scource for them? I think it's an Econoseal type. C0378/C0392 are 6-way Econoseal III connectors - . The White (as well as Red and Blue) versions of the Econoseal III connectors are impossible to source through retail outlets, and most trade distributors don't stock them, but will order them in with an MOQ of 1000 (for the 6-way versions) and an 8-week factory lead time. The coloured versions have the same coding keyways as the Black Econoseal III connectors, and are interchangeable with one another. The different colours are used to aid harness connection in production. As said above, Polevolt are the cheapest source for Econoseal connectors - http://www.polevolt....Connectors.html .

spcollins Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Has anyone any ideas where I might get a new or good second hand chassis wiring loom for a late 300TDi 90 CSW, please? I can't find one anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 you could recover the end connectors from yours & buy new matching colour coded wiring from autosparks, or just keep a look out on ebay for another chassis loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Google autosparks, they sell new looms for the 300, I recently had a chassis loom off them . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spcollins Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I may have to do just that, Ralph. Thanks. Is there no way to remove the old loom without destroying it? I have access to a donor 90 with the same loom I need. Thanks Ron! I thought they only made looms up to 200TDi. I just mailed them now. Will post here what they say.

western Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 the chassis loom can be removed fairly easily, took mine out recently, I disconnected the front engine bay connections & pulled it though from the rear, on the right hand chassis inner face there are 2 large grommets, remove these from the chassis & loom then extract loom from the rear,if you want the new loom inside the chassis, tie a very long length of sting/cord to the forward connectors & it'll sit inside until you tie the new loom to it & pull though from the front.or put the new loom inside some convoluted split tubing & ty-wrap to the outer top face/body mounts.Autosparks do list a chassis loom for chassis range MA939976 to VA104805, which should cover 110 300tdi models with heated rear window & rear wash/wipe.

spcollins Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Ralph - you are dead right. I found it on their website. The picture they have of the loom on their website is incorrect but hopefully it is just a sample image. Will call them tomorrow and post here what they say. £68 + VAT quoted on their website is good enough value - especially when you compare against the genuine LR item! Thanks folks!

western Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 They are very good, my dash/main loom is from autosparks, had to replace it after a bit of a meltdown a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 If you do put the new loom in the chassis, be sure to get the bigger connectors out of the chassis first, otherwise you'll struggle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncoduecer Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Thank you PaulMc! I've been a lurker here for years and the posts on this forum have been very helpful. I have read many posts from Les. I've been installing a 300tdi in my NAS 90 for a couple years now. I got it running last night. Now I'm just tidying up a few things. Your tip on the econoseals saved me a ton of time. Many thanks!
