rewiring g/s

I've got to re-wire the garden/shed (g/s) and motoworks say app £200 quid for new loom(s) so I'm thinking of having a go myself.

Anyone post me to previous threads or offer advice or reasons not to do this.

Hi Alan

It boils down to time and technique. If you want to just crimp and use any old wire it should be fairly quick and easy. If you have the old loom in place you could just do each wire in turn.

Or you could do what I did and solder every terminal and crimp and get rid of surplus wiring reserved for extra bits and pieces.

Have you got the time?

Hello. Check my posts in "Blown fuse dilema" in BMW tech, also "Replacement LED taillights" in same forum. Check out the Airheads club, lots of info there, and do a descriptive search, lots of info on the HUBB. Good luck!
