Sourcing a new connector for a K-Series coolant sensor

[m1 se7en]

Does anyone have any idea where I can source a replacement connector as used on the engine loom that connects to the coolant temperature sensor (the brown ECU one) on a Rover K-Series?

Google didn't seem to find anything suitable and eBay has a couple but they're located in Australia!

I'm looking for one closer to home if possible.

You'll find them on Polevolt, I've bought a couple in the last year or 3.  You'll find everything you need here - connectors, terminals & boots. You need some proper crimping pliers for non insulated terminals.

ps they are in Cheshire, so a bit closer than Aus!

That's brilliant.

No problem! 

As ever, a proper tool helps. This is the cheap one I bought for occasional use. Not as good as the one I've borrowed, but it's OK

Ive learnt some new skills recently by tidying my wiring loom. As the engine was out, I took the opportunity to initially tidy the engine loom. I've replaced a burnt alternator connector, and change the IACV connector as it was cracked and the wiring insulation tension cracked. I've stripped all the old tape off and replaced it with proper loom tape and convoluted tubing, properly clipped to the scuttle using rivet on bases.  As the chassis loom was now letting the side down, I've done the same with that, taken out bodges and fitted new looms through new the headlamp stays. With a bit of rerouting and taking out surplus I've taken out a couple of metres of wire! Strangely satisfying and quite addictive.
