sorry im in sydney, but your probably looking at a full days work if there using the standard loom and it all needs to be checked out, id say around $400 for it. If you get a new loom it may be cheaper to do it yourself. |

( or if you are game enough fit one from a different car along with the dash If you get a new loom it may be cheaper to do it yourself.  )

My new loom cost $300 + GST from Northern Mini in Melbourne (pick it up while down there on business) It came from a guy in WA I've heard mentioned as a supplier. easy enough to rewire with the diagram (supplied) and the manual and a bit of patience

I bought a loom (just front end) for $150-odd from Mini Spares Centre in NSW, and installed it myself. I made it hell neat (you just tuck most of it under a black cable cover thingy). The trick is to write down what colour wires you unplug from each device and have a wiring diagram handy. Mine works perfectly. And I trust myself more than some random electrician who might not give a damn about tidyness etc. You can be as fussy as you want to be. Also, saves the cash. BTW, I redid my wiring because my brother put the battery in backwards. "Hey is that smoke coming from your car---OH HOLY $%@&!" Yeah, I laugh NOW... |
