Thinking 'bout a rewire

TP1 · Jan 20, 2008

Poor ol' S3 hybrid ain't too well.

Specially the lectricks.

I'm thinking about a total rewire and maybe adding some extras like reversing lights. So, since I used to be an lectrickian in a former life I might as well design and build the new loom myself.

Problem is I've got no idea how much current things like glowplugs and fuel pumps and wipers draw.

Anyone able to help me out here?

Hmmmm. Hadn't thought of that. Main prob is there's only 4 fuses in the box so must be running multiple circuits on each (or maybe there's lots of unfused circuits -

).

Pink. Hmmm. Probarly not. D'ya think it'd look as good as the pink Harley that used to live in York???

if yu want a standard rewire - thers a cupple of companies that do em - If you want summat speshul - then my company will do it fur you as a one-off - but as Yella sez - it aint cheap.

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind. Glad to hear it ain't cheap, in my experience cheap isn't worth it.
I'm not thinking of making huge changes to the standard loom - but that might change
