You make it sound like a walk in the park. But that wiring loom looks a nightmare to splice and solder new bits into and include insulation without making it too bulky. How did you go about the job as it might be helpful to peeps like me should we face a similar situation. [-o<

Basically I stripped the conduit and exposed the wires the conduit was pretty tatty so I am trying to source a new bit to go back over.

To join the wires i borrowed (stole) heat shrink connectors from a mate who tinkers with his landrover constantly, this was probaly easier than soldering as you can use a small heat gun thing. I borrowed this to so not sure the exact name LOL.

At the moment i have just put good electrical tape till i can get out to get a new peice of conduit.

I trust this helps.
