Main wiring loom

I put a post on here a month or so ago asking for advice about having no headlights and I got a fantastic response and loads of help, but having been through everything, fuses,switches, earths etc, and after weeks of no joy it transpires that it's the plug on the main wiring loom has corroded and burnt.
Having tried to source a plug to replace it is impossible, and every parts dealer and scrappy I've spoke to has stated that you cannot get a plug you have to replace the full loom, which at a new part which only Land Rover supply is £2480.
So it's a big ask to see if anyone has an old wiring loom I could salvage the plug from, or any knowledge of any dealers that supply loom parts separately. Thanks

I bought a few similar connectors from PaulMc who posts on here. He seems to know lots about availability of loads of different Land Rover connectors. Perhaps worth dropping him a PM.

PaulMc has proper headers with the terminals to suit for about a tenner IIRC. PM him on here.

Search for landrover-connectors on ebay. He hasn't got any on at the mo but a message via eBay should get you sorted out.
