I've bought new wiring looms from Autosparks to do a complete wiring replacement but their main / chassis looms don't have the wiring to the transmission. They carry a plug for it but they don't offer the missing wiring to the transmission. So, do I need this?:

Havent a clue on the loom pictured, but from memory theres only two wires, on for the reverse switch and the other for the diff lock switch, both switches earth/return through the gearbox casing I think.

As above, I guess it will help if it plugs into the loom, but you will still need the black/blue wire from the Diff lock switch. That could be made up easily - female spade connector on each end. I have a 1985 Van body, but the more recent loom you have purchased will likely be a bit different - should all work though.
