Thanks -- those are useful links. Do you have a link/pic for the brass crimp connectors please?

Yes, exactly right. It's a 200Tdi. Thanks, that's helpful. I agree. The hard bit is knowing where to start! It feels a bit all or nothing -- either I fiddle away with individual wires and try to replace them one at a time (which will get really messy with other existing wires in place), or I...

Thanks. Yes, loads of Scotch block connectors. I think there's every kind of wire connector you could imagine. I'd love to know why they did it like this but I doubt I'll ever find out. In that comment you mentioned above does crimpset mean those tubes where you push wires into them and squash...

Just one big fan. Thanks again -- will report back in due course...

Thanks. That's what I was wondering. I'm guessing it would be OK to go for a short drive to warm it up without knowing if the fan is working or not? No risk as long as I keep an eye on the temperature gauge, right?

Thanks. Do you have any advice about what diameter of wire to use for replacements, please? Is there one specific gauge or something that is the 'right' choice for everything that ISN'T a high current connection? (although I appreciate that a fan could be a higher current) I can't go by what's...

It’s like some kind of electrical nightmare. This was the battery compartment before we started…

Thanks. Yes got a multimeter and also a basic car electrics probe thing. I haven’t yet worked out how to test continuity from behind the dash to in the engine bay — the meter leads aren’t long enough! Is there a trick to that? Make up a long cable with croc clips on?? Yes I think you’re right...

Hi, everyone. As far as I can tell a previous owner of our 110 (1986) was an avid collector of short lengths of wire in random colours, mostly red. They also had a large supply of fuses, connection blocks and insulation tape. At some point they decided to remove all the original wiring from the...

It’s finally on. Thanks for all your help/advice. The metal cancelling ring is a stubborn little thing. It needed a lot of force on the circlip pliers to get it onto the wheel. Once it was on I didn’t expect it to work. If you look at the picture you’ll see that the prongs are not quite at 12...

Ok… how do I get this indicator cancelling ring onto the wheel, please? The outside diameter of the metal ring is pretty much the same as the bit that sticks out on the back of the steering wheel. So it will be a very tight fit. I’ve messed around with two pairs of pliers but can’t get it on. I...

It’s here. Not cheap though — £2.17 per gram

Yes, I’ve just ordered one!

Yes I’ve seen pics of the cancelling ring but I don’t have one with the new (old) wheel so will have to get one.

Yes! Just done it with the help of a better puller. Thanks to everyone here for the advice. It will have to come off again at some point because I need to buy an indicator cancelling ring. I thought there’d be one behind the Momo wheel but it just has two screws sticking out the back. See pic...

Haha. Thanks. Yes I did it up again because I needed to drive today

P.S. I couldn’t help imagining that in the voice of Crocodile Dundee

None taken. Yes I know it’s a bit weedy! Thanks — local garage is a good idea, I know someone I can ask. Why take the plastic shroud off, though? The puller needs to pull on the rim around the edge of the boss, doesn’t it? Thanks again for the replies.

Here’s a pic of the wheel. I think there’s nowhere you could get a three-bolt puller onto this unless it was a special one that attached to the Momo holes. I bought this puller but the arms slip off before the wheel moves on the splines.

Yes that sounds like the same design. Maybe mine just needs more bashing.
