Couple of the wires have parted company with each other, electric windows so bit of a pain. Other than expensive option of new loom, any ideas?

Solder them together and cover with heat shrink tube - very common problem on Bongos. Also remove the big plastic clip that holds the loom in place.

Cheers what I thought I may have to do, is it best to cover the loom in original plastic cover or replace with something a little more flexible?

I used the original cover. It's that ruddy clip that causes all the problems - it holds the loom too tight.

Here's what i did with mine!
The problem is that V bend constantly opening & closing the angle... The way the loom is tied to the lower door hinge causes more long term problems than it's meant to solve..
I did mine after a repair like this..
The loom kind of concertinas with the rubber at either end, & sits in the door to wing gap horizontally when closed..
The slack taken up inside the wing, i cut the loom cable tidy in half where it had split on the V there it was cable tied.!
I since removed the tie from the hinge...
