Which way do they route to the Y piece? Mine don't seem to reach properly!

They run along side the fuel rail on each side of the V8, and should have extender cables to allow them to reach

I've connected both sides down the fuel rail. Do the come down the front of the engine block, along the chassis and up behind the Y-piece?

WTF???? Lambda sensor cables DONT go anywhere near the fuel rail!

they split behind the bell housing across to the upper chassis rails, the extenders should be tied to the rails to connect to the loom behind the manifolds.

Obviously some TVR differences then- Ive pulled the connector apart on many cars where it extends from the Range Rover loom to behind the fuel rails to plug in my testers, and its pretty awkaward to get at, but at least I dont burn my arms on the exhaust downtubes in the process.

I don't recall seeing them tied to the chassis rails beneath the exhaust manifolds TBH. From what I remember, there was a connector for each side, which rested near the injectors/ fuel rail.

However, simply by looking at the 'Name that fuse' thread, its fairly evident that these cars seem to have several differences between each model.

This is where mine were too - however as part of the wiring for mine was 3 core 6A mains cable I wasn't convinced that it was original ... but then again maybe it was. hehe
