It's worse than we thought - The Loom from Hell
Discussion
Now as some of you may know, Nick has searched long and hard for his star tester port, but never found it. Yesterday he managed to get one of his college tutors, who has a fair amount of electrical knowledge, to have a look at it and try to find it.
After removing the many cable ties, they discovered that his loom has been taken out (at least in part), completely butchered to holy hell, and then shuvved back in the footwell. The star tester port is GONE, an alarm has appeared, there are wires that go nowhere, other wires twisted together and soldered before being wrapped up in electrical tape; it's a real mess. So, he's set about making it good again with the help of a local auto electrician who's working on it at mates rates. However, we could do with a thorough wiring diagram for the entire car, and also the pin data for the ECU, as he needs to attach a new one to the correct part of the ECU. Also, if anyone has a star tester port that will attach, please email me.
Many thanks
Tony

Tony, I've been going over my loom recently and it follows the wiring diagram exactly as far as I can tell but I still have twisted wires that have been soldered and wrapped in tape. I think it is the standard TVR way of wiring!
The wiring diagram is at the back of the 'bible', does nick have a copy of the Steve Heath book? If not I can take a picture (my scanner died recently) for you.
In regards to the ECU pins there is a description in this article; big version from Norman (Gerald TVR) or small version from Andrew (tvrgit).
Don't expect great electrics from TVR, I am systematically replacing the loom as I work on different areas of the car!
