How much to rewire a bay?

My electrics are starting to show their age, no doubt the dash fire didn't help. I've been considering a full new loom, but how much would we be lookin at? I'd doubt I could tackle the job myself...

Anyone an idea?

 

for supply and fit I think around £600 -£800 depending on what your after

 

i seem to remember off the shelf looms be £400

 

Type2Detectives wanted £1000!!! I made the best of what I'd got!

 

I bought a loom from the guy in Leicester and then had it fitted. In hindsight, I would have liked to have made up my own loom as the 'off the shelf' version was not perfect and uses VERY thin core wires. I appreciate that is the modern way (apart from the tiny core for rear demist that was nowhere near big enough and routed into the engine bay instead of to the tailgate). I would have put proper chunky wiring all over to avoid any possible issues.

 

Have a look at Gingers website I think there is a price on there about £750 from memory. Was thinking about this but now cant afford it

 

Thanks all, I'm lookin into it. But my initial issue is I need to replace the fuse box as a matter of urgency - anyone know where I can get one ASAP?

 

If you can repair the one you have or get a second hand one the new ones are not as good

 

New ones are good if they're made properly


I'd be looking at about £700 for re-wiring a bay inc materials, 3 days work to fully re-wire and de-bug!!

 

Can't repair the fuse box apparently, claims that corrosion is too far gone. Hence I need to replace that before we can even start to sort out the mess the RAC tech caused yesterday. How the funk do you go from failed indicators to wont start and when it does it sounds like a bag of the proverbial...

 

you can get a spray from Maplins to clean up the corrosion its used on circuit boards


The new fuse boxes have much thinner metal with a thinner copper coating

 

how much....i could build you a house for that :censored:

 

I used to be a auto electrician £700 for a new loom supplied and fitted is about correct.
3 days labour + materials

 

I got a second hand loom, a blown up colour copy of the wiring diagram and labeled everything before ripping the old loom out. I had serious doubts about being able to do it as I'm not an electrician/auto electrician but it only took a few weekends (full day Saturday, half day Sunday) and found it most rewarding. I got someone qualified to give it a once over and it was all cool.

 

Get someone else to look at it sound like the auto guys not interested and the rac man cant cope without his laptop.


The wiring looks scary but if you break it down into circuits its a lot simpler than you my think


Where abouts are you
