MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Where does this wire go? NMC

The next time you moan about our cars wiring! Think of this.



Anyone know what car it is?



A vehicle I'm working on atm.







SR Smith 1

Forget the wires - some buggers nicked the steering wheel, seats and dash!!
Dave Price

It was me Dave, and a mission it's been getting this far as well.

Spot on Nick, Gallardo 4wd cabriolet, well spotted!

Rule no1 of rewiring a car...
you'll never get it all back the way it was. :-)
graeme jackson

Nice, interesting job you have SR. How did the fire start?!

Malcolm.
M Le Chevalier

The theory is static Malcolm, quite common on Lambos it seems, got another one coming up to do with a similar fault.



And Graeme, we should do, the loom came with all clips. All you do is cut the old ones, leaving them in the holes and remove and clip in the new ones as you lay the loom in.
SR Smith 1

Crikey! I hope you're right SR. I couldn't get a new loom to fit on a BSA Bantam properly and somehow managed to cut a wire just putting the plastic covers back on my midget's steering column!
If it can't be hammered in, get an expert. Clearly you are The Man!
RS Hughes

Well, we bit the bullet and connected up the battery yesterday!


All seems ok so far. Rettiing the fascia and seats today.

I recall BMW had an issue with the mini early on http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1339429/BMW-recalls-Mini-over-fuel-blast-scare.html . Good they picked it up early.
