All saloons have the loom. Very late ones have a different connector to most, but all wires are present and correct.

 Just need the wire from the blind to the loom 


Tunnie : No tint left , just going to fit the blind

Its only 3 wires    Make one up..

When I replaced blind from my old MFL to newer FL found the loom wire had a bigger connection on the cars loom.

I made the loom as said its only 3 wires ,tricky bit was removing the original plug from cars loom as limited space inside boot area with torch/soldering iron etc.

You will need to source a means to connect the 3 wires from the new loom you have made to connect to the plug on the blind motor though.Possible just very small spade type connectors would work though.

PFL and FL connectors are different but the wire colours are the same.

Think I've got some spade connectors .. will have a go

Plug into the motor/blind end is same ,its just the connection to main cars loom that is different so you could either just cut existing plug from cars loom and solder/shrink seal or find an alternative connection plug,n,socket to join in.

That's what ill do then  Im not sure what amp wire i should be using ?
Could someone let me know please 

[05omegav6]

Same thickness as existing car loom would be a start...

Haynes gives the wire gauges

Just go to scrapyard, find omega, grap handful of wiring loom and cut.
Take home, get 3 lengths, cut some shrink tube, solder, shrink tube, put switch in.
Blind goes up blind goes down.

I made me own loom  Blind wont go up and doon as i have no switch  Cant believe no one has a switch for sale , hay ho will have to install a toggle switch or something 

[TheBoy]

hay ho will have to install a toggle switch or something 

Yup, that'll work well. NOT

Only 1 way to deal with this and thats to power the blind up without a switch and leave it up
