a quick update

i have just discovered that the 4 pin connectors i have used to join my looms to the main harness will also fit the marelli style coil packs

i was reading other threads on the matter and as i had some spare marelli coils turn up the other day i thought i could try it out,

and its a perfect fit , you have to use the ' male ' section of the plug , the shorter one with the yellow rubber seal on the outside that fits inside the other plug

this is only for the marelli system , as this will not fit Lucas coil packs




so i can now replace my broken plugs on the coil supplies , as the ' holder loop ' has broken off ,

this is TRUE

as at lunch I went out to the jaguar and unplugged the connector on the Coil and plugged in the new weather pack....

sadly as I unplugged the connector the plastic that sticks up in one part broke off and I had to go get a long needle nose and fish out the broken piece of plastic before I could plug the weather pack in or the connector that I needed to drive the car with...

ah... the parts are just OLD... new coils go onto the list...

the wiring to the coils are bear in a spot or two... time to replace with new coils new wire and new weather pack connectors....

Still I Have a boat load of them..

Almost. For those finding this in the archives, the Jaguar harness has to be modified for BIM124 to work:
