Cheapest I found was Robin Hood Engineering for the Vickey Green loom. £85 incl vat.
Up side:
Cheap
Comes with plugs and relays etc.

Downside:
Little or no support. (Typical RH)
Couple of errors on drawing.

Overall:
Fairly happy.

i've got one of the premier ones, haven't fitted it but like the look of it. Ivined has one as well, fitted his in a couple of evenings.

I managed to locate a Caterham loom from someone who had upgraded their engine from a xflow to a Vauxhall engine. www. blatchat.com is a good place to look as is the Westfield site.

As a non-sparky I found it a challenge but very interesting. Downside is going to bed and not sleeping due to thinking about the circuits all night. It's a very satisfying thing to completely wire up a car... albeit a simple one but an achievement none-the-less!

I know from personal experiences, that thinking of wiring diagrams in bed has a positive effect.
