Talking about fault isoluation, I took the first bit of lunch break to havr a closer look at the fuse box situation. Well, the original one did get off the original harness without cutting. And it is a lot harder plastics than the one on the new harness, which explains why the new one just doesn't clamp as tightly around the fuses, not closing circuits at times.
Next step: remove the front part of the main harness from the car, again, try to get new fuse box of the harness (including cutting, it is trash either way), try to get the original one on WITHOUT cutting, install everything and hope for the best! Could be easy, could take the whole week, who knows?
Anyway, the original fuse box looks a lot more solid than the spare one as well. So I'll use that, including the majority of the dirt and grit, not to jinx anything. And that way, the car might take the harness transplant better. So far, she seems to reject it any way she can!![]()
can i do the inner tie rod myself? i've read about needing a special tool or risk damaging the steering rack
Inner tie rod is the bit between the steering rack and the outer tie rod.What do you class as the inner tie rod?
The arm that comes off the streering rack to the hub?
JLR like to call a ball joint breaker a special tool

Inner tie rod is the bit between the steering rack and the outer tie rod.
It has the ball joint that screws onto the bar coming out of the rack.
Special tool is essentially a very long socket, i think
looks like they call it a drum stick
