So if the gas gun only does the heat shrink, wot do you use for the solderin?

.. finkin abart it, I suppose in your job stuff has to be water proof. I mean REALLY waterproof. The trailer is presently mended with a chocblock and good insulating tape. I really will have to find the time to do as you said. Fanks for the...

Yur, well I have stuff like that too, but I don't carry it around with me int cars! The choc block gets it home then it gets fixed propah, usually!! 🤣

Chock blocks haha do peeps still use them, I have a nice set of blue point (snap on) wire strippers & solder water proof heat shrink connectors. To heat shrink them I have a sealey gas gun which takes lighter fluid. :)

He'll fail. The French are very protective of stuff and quick to get shirty if you meddle, there will be a hooj stink and Francois will quietly put it back on the shelf. Bet you a creme egg..

A proper fix, replace entire loom or email a breaker to get the plug with some tail of wire and solder it back on. Failing those, zip ties? lol

So looks like you have solved your problem. Wish they were all that easy!! :) :) :)

That's what I did with mine - 2 zip ties. On a german Forum somebody helped me out with this useful tip: You can get the exact same connector from a 1999-2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They used it on the automatic gearbox wiring. Part number...

It's all those illegal immigrants, coming over here and drinking all our water.
