Well i now have an abf in my garden and a wiring loom in my front room.
Started on the loom trying to get lighting loom out, im just scared of cutting anything incase i was wrong and i needed it.
Is it best to cut the plugs for the lighting then pull it all out or should i remove it as one if possible?

Did 02a conversion myself the other day. 16v 02y driveshafts bolt straight up, and I've read 8v/16v mk2 are the same, so... You need to nibble a couple of mm off shifter box so bolts can get in on the perimeter of it, then use 8mm penny washers on the bolts. Takes about 10mins to do. Waxoyl/ paint/stone chip guard it all right up where you file/drill the box underneath. I then covered the lot once it was offered up, jobs a good'un

If i was 100% sure the big yellow plugs were not needed, id chop them off.
But im just going by what i ve seen when i have searched. The thing thats worrying me is the wires that come off the yellow plugs and go into the smaller plugs which i really dont know if i need just yet.
