Electrical Questions (Cable ties and hope!)
Discussion
Hi All
I have done some investigating into the electrical gremlins I have been having and seemed to just be opening more cans of worms at every turn.
The cowboys that did the interior re-trim on the car should be hanging their heads in shame at the work they have done. Some of the leather has been spray painted a new colour, most of the interior was held on with cable ties or not at all, it is a proper horror show. Anyone considering a re-trim PM me for where NOT to take your car.
I have posted a few photos with some bits circled. Any explanations for what these parts / connectors or seemingly random wires are would be very gratefully received.

2nd pic - looks like connector for the microwave sensor for the alarm, given its location by the handbrake
last pic - assuming passenger footwell that looks like the ambient temp sensor
2nd to last pic, I don't think that connector is used as I have a few of those with nothing connected to them (surplus part of the loom) in the bunch of wires near the relay splice
Interested to know who did such a poor job. Some of the wiring on TVR's is not as neat as you would expect anyway so it may not al be down to the trimmers but then again...

Thanks for the replies chaps. You will both have PM shortly to tell you who the culprit was. Sadly the work was done before I bought the car so it would be up to the previous owner to go after them.
Your guess is right Shep, that is passengers foot well so I guess that must be ambient air temp. Seems like a strange place to put it though with the heat coming from the exhaust through the bulkhead.
Do you have any clue what the box screwed to the bulkhead in the third picture (top circle) is? It seems to have a solid brass or copper wire heading towards where I think the heater blower lives? Temp sensor for the AC?
The connector on the tunnel that you say is microwave for the alarm, should that have something plugged into it? Say a microwave sensor? Mine seems to be absent!
