Be ware!! $1000. for a REWIRE is "very cheap" question the quality of the job you will be getting before yo have it done..

Sorry to leave that mess with you Dane, but the PO did make a real meal of it. At least I sorted out the battery cable when it was leaning on the exhaust.

vintage looms are the best by reputation. Make sure you tell them (or get the sparky to) what the extra accessories and guages are so that wires can be included for them.

cheers

Haha Hi Mick! It is a bit of a mess isn't it. Where are you living now? still abroad?

Convertible mini I think you are a bit far :)

Wiring Colour Code Table

Many British designed vehicles use colour coded cables to assist in identifying the various circuits in use. This is an extract from BS-AU7a 1983 Colour Code for Vehicle Wiring, from the British Standards Institution, 2 Park St., London W1A 2BS.
(Note that these colour codes may not apply directly to older cars. For example, the wipers on cars up to 1980 (at least) are not on a separate fuse circuit, so they are not orange, but green. Check the schematic for your car to be certain)
