If its a loom you're after, speak to Shaun at MS2 Tuning. He can make you a quality bespoke loom at a reasonable price. The TVR loom is basically a bastardised LR loom.

Sorry to here about your fire, rotten luck.

Do you know the cause? I have experienced fuel leaking from the fuel lines especially the one under the bulkhead where TVR had not Swaged the steel pipe end. After several attempts at curing the leak by replacing all the rubber hoses and using two proper fuel clips not the ordinary hose clips fitted originally it still leaked after a while. Since removing the steel pipe and Swaging the end it has been OK.

The fire was caused by a cowboy Motorsport company in Wellingborough they were performing a rolling road diagnostic , I was present through out they removed fuel return pipe and crimped it with a pair of pliers to shut off .because of this they split pipe and refitted without proper testing they gave me car and as I drove out it caught fire I am in the process of taking these cowboys to court as I could have been killed , the fire extinguisher they gave me as faulty and did not work I had to run to another unit to get another one to put fire out

Sorry to hear about the fire, at least you're in one piece but its sounds horrific.

Have you tried the Sportmotive? Ian's a great bloke and they do fantastic work. If the car is on the register as Cat C having it fettled by one of the well known specialists might help if you ever come to sell..?

Also - i'd suggest you edit out the name of the company involved in the fire, it'll save the thread and might prevent you more woes than you've already got (sounds like the lawyers will make enough out of this without a defamation case as well

Best of luck with getting back on the road.

There really cant be a shortage of Range Rover looms around, and they dont get anything like the cooking they get in the TVR engine bay.

Have you tried the usual TVR breakers?

They can't get much call for looms considering the amount of cars they break, probably throw them away!

Is it worth fitting an old LR loom though? If it hasn't been looked after or even removed carelessly, there could be breaks in the wiring, making a lot of potential work.
