Getting married or selling the car?

Dunno, Les. I didn't dare ask!
Thanks Les, I'm happy to go with that!
I've had some issues with this site loading and changing pages today too, even got an error message once and thought the site had gone down again......Weird thing, I had to reply to this from page 1 because the page with your comment won't load
A new loom wouldn't fix the problems that it has, but would be a good idea to prevent future problems. Right now, he's fine with his originalmyoldjalopy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 6:35 pm Or work the price into the sale....but that means stating it needs a new loom when you try and sell the car. I'm still not sure it 'needs' a new loom but from a distance I can't know......
Might have been the way I said - Was definitely intending to, even got to the checkout page!
Yes, that was a blatant lie! At that moment I was adamant that I was buying a loom, enough to say I've already bought it I won't understand how my mind works!
Given that I now have a second car to get me around, I now have no problem, with guidance, in replacing the wires sequentially. The new loom sounds like it could be the easier option, or be a nuisance if I have wires that don't match up. I've got someone in the family who is somewhat of an automotive electrical hobbyist. He may be able to help outMatt wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 11:40 am If you are methodical its not hard to put a new wiring loom in.
I restored a sprite a few years ago and entrusted the loom install to a friend, who I was confident knew what he was doing, because I didn't have the time. Needless to say that didn't work out too well, various things didn't work properly, wires were added etc and ultimately there were some flames (which fortunately got put out before damage was done).
I took the whole loom out, repaired all the damage and put it back in properly and all has been fine since. Its just a case of getting the loom installed, then matching the wires up with what goes where. They go to roughly the right place anyway so it doesn't take that long to work it out!
