    Thanks for the suggestions it is white needle, also the paint is not too bad but it has faded and there are a few rust bubbles along the seams down the sides and some small bubbles starting to show on the roof. Will try rubbing a patch back inside the tail gate and see what that shows. How can you tell if it is GTS loom?
    Even if by chance it is not genuine the work will still be done as everyone over here that has seen it says they haven't seen one this tidy in many years so it may as well be finished off to look the part. (also it wont be sold for a long time)

    GTS loom has a tan tacho wire that runs to the coil wound into the loom that comes out of the fire wall behind the brake vacumn unit. It should be part of the original loom, not poked through the side of the large (rectangle on HX I think) grommet that runs through the fire wall. But dont unwind a factory loom to check, that stuff never wraps back, and you want to keep it. It should be obviously there, or not, its very common to have electicians tape or something like it back toward the firewall, but that more fibourous stuff is orig, no reason to unwind it, can be seen from the outside - maybe send a quick pic or two.
