Wot about getting a second hand loom from a breakers and just starting with that? They ain't expensive and you would have a safe place to start from.Evening all been oot for a few hours messing about with the landy wiring, the alternator
was wired up wrong was a small brown wire onto the rev counter feed
Cant figure out why the glow plugs are constant live when the key is out ignition.
Pulled the wire off from the ignition switch for now why do people just chop & join wires
when they dont have a clue what they are doing. No battery light on the dash got power
to the circuit but doesnt light the bulb up. Im nearly at the stage of ripping dash out to get a
better look at the loom. Tis a mess tbh.
This is what I do with a kit car as I posted elsewhere recently. Two good looms give you loads of wire of the correct gauge and colours with extra fuse boxes and relays. Easiest way of rewiring I can think of and a feck's sight cheaper than Autosparks.
You could take the whole loom out, taking pics of all connections before you disconnect them, then put in the known good loom, keeping what you have ripped out to use for mending and extensions.
