Andy it will leak again unless you seal it. Karcraft are the best to supply. Get some 3 Bond gasket sealant, much better than RTV. Ring me tomorrow and I will let you know what type and seal it up. If you get stuck let me know I have 2 cleaned ones in the shed and no matter what anyone says they do clean up and I can send one down. It does take a while to get all of the oil out of the Main Harness, I sealed and replaced mine 500kms ago and still have a bit of oil coming out. Not interfering with the running though. I know the harness is sealed properly as there is no oil in the round plug.
Cheers

Hi Andrew,
I can't vouch for the product but at least it is here in Oz if it lets you down.
This is where I will be going if and when I get the 'oil in harness issue'.

I would clean the loom as described in several posts and just replace the harness.

Cheers,
Paul

Had it before with the D2 Craig.
Spraying the head and ECU plugs with CO cleaner has made it run correctly again,I have left the ECU seal out.
The D2 has what I was told was the improved design harness,hasnt been a problem since.
Will order a new one and be done with it,fix it once.
Thanks

The so called improved design harness is in fact no different. I have bought 2 of the so called improved design. It seems what people term improved design is you buy a new harness and while it is new seal it yourself.
When I replaced the last one I actually had all 3 out on the bench and there is no difference between any of them. The latest one was only replaced in October. What I did do was seal it completely with three bond sealant. ATM I have no oil getting into the plug connector at the head. Having only done about 500kms since replacing I am still getting some residual oil at the ECU plug even though I did flush it with metho. It seems it takes a little bit to get out all residual oil, though has not really interfered with the way the car runs.
I have actually cleaned and soaked the 2 old units and sealed them up as spares also, so if I need them I should be able to use them.
I am not sure where or what the term improved design refers to because it is not anything the manufacturer has done. Though the new one took a few years to contaminate again.

I would like them to explain exactly what their so called modification is to this harness. They do not on their website and magnifying the picture it is exactly the same as the harness everyone else is selling and the same as the 3 I currently have. 2 that have had contamination issue and a new unit. Now unless they are using different photo I would suggest you enquire and have confirmed what the modification is. Unless they have been sealed at all point oil can still get in.
I have sealed my new unit and will see how that goes. ATM there is no oil at the connector plug, but having said that the first one I replaced lasted 4 years before contamination occured again and this appears to be about the norm around every 80,000kms. Yet the last one I replaced was supposed to be the so called improved design going by the part number.
I would seek clarification as to what exactly the modification is. I do know mine is sealed about as good as you are going to get it without professional sealing of the plugs and wires. Why it is not a sealed unit to start with is anyones guess.
This is where the three bond sealant works a bit better as it runs into the gaps better than most RTV that is too thick.

Good questions Craig!
I will ask them what their modifications are when I eventually order one?
And hopefully there is some sort of long term warranty.
I only thought of them because at least they aknowledge the issue and claim to have made some attempt to address it unlike most other suppliers online.

Cheers,
Paul.

MR replaced mine about a month ago. No probs since. :)

When the oil gets to to the ECU we would always replace the main engine loom too. We would fit and injector loom, rocker cover gasket & main loom. The main loom is modified to prevent oil getting to the ECU. It has a built in low point and a tab that draws the oil away from the loom.

I have a couple of Defender main looms (with air-con, to chassis 1A622423) that I can do for £250.
