Just a warning note.
Whilst tidying up my wiring around the ignition switch I noticed there was a abundance of loom connections with piggy back looms for old turbo timers and immobilizers still connected inline on the main ignition loom, as well as this they were all getting very hot, hot enough to melt the main 12V feed wire on the looms, after pulling out all these piggy back looms and connecting up my ignition switch original connector back onto the ignition switch all overheating of wires has stopped and I have junked these inferior looms in the bin, just because a piggy back loom comes with a piece of kit doesn't mean that it is rated enough for the load of your car...just something to be aware of, be safe not sorry , over rate the needs of your electrical installations and you cant go wrong.
