It is doable, but you must be very careful.
Agreed 100%, I have never replaced a loom on one of these but I did on a Golf a couple of years ago due to a fire and no insurance on a customers newish car. The new loom was a nightmare to get into place and I can see why they are warmed up in the factory to make them supple, in the factory they can do it in a few mins, it took me over a week just to get the loom in and working. I can see why cars are usually written off when the wiring gets damaged. I vowed never to do one again.

Check all your earth points and block connectors, some block connectors can look correct but a good push and even a tie wrap can often help.
