Dave2000 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Thought I was going to repair to damaged wiring in the 2000 this afternoon (see other thread in Chit-Chat 'Avoided total disaster...' for full details) but the damage extends back far further than I first thought; from the engine bay, through the bulkhead, across the passenger compartment, over the heater matrix and down behind the dash to by the clutch pedal ??)I'm now starting to wonder whether it'd be easier to get a section of loom made up and simply install that instead? Does anyone know of any companies that would do that, or am I better off just buying a several dozen yards of cable and giving it a go myself? Or failing that, anyone know any good auto electricians?Thanks in advance for any advice given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 As i think the car is one that you want to keep, I'd bite the bullet and buy a new loom-one less thing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be quite methodical and to have the correct colour codes for the repairs. But it can be done. Took us a week. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Wiring looms are cheap enough to replace in such an event :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
