post up a pic of the quadlock connector (main one coming from insdie the dash).

nothing on the instructions show anything?

The above connector is the main block and in the instructions shows some sort of locking tab coming from where the pink clips are, it also says to remove the green wire from that blue connector and then push the wire into the new blue connector on the new loom. I can supply the instructions if it will help

Can anyone help with this or recommend someone/company around the bristol area who could quickly unpick the pins for me, cheers

The blue connector in your first pic is quite easy.

First you need to remove the blue bit, which is just a sleeve. The tab, on the left, by your thumb in the photo needs presing away with a small flat screwdriver and the the black connector part will slide out.
When that's off, you will find that each pin hole in the connector has a small plastic spring tab, which retains the metal pin almost like a barb. If you gently lift it with the side of a small knife (scalpel, or stanley knife or similar) then the pin will gently pull out with the wire. Take note of which way round it went - the face of the pin that is on the outside (and mates with the barb) must be on the outside in it's new location.

The other one i am less sure about, but, i think, the purple but comes right out. I think that a flat blade screwdriver placed at the bottom of the purple bit, lever the handle downwards to prise the purple bit towards you.

I can't really see the instructions well enough to comment any further. It'd be useful if you could scan them in properly so they're clear.
