I hate electrics and in car entertainment in every way, shape and form. Spent the last three hours trying to figure out why i can't get my radio to work and fixing the butched ICE loom It might seem daft, but I'm colour blind so trying to determine browns, greens and yellows amongst others is a tad more than tricky!

I think tomorrow I'll be down the DIY store buying reems of wire and just fuck it off and make my own loom. DAMN IT!

If anyone fancies coming and doing it for me, I've got plenty of tinnies in the fridge!

Also found out why my XR2i keeps dying. Yep, WIRING! Where the loom comes out of the bulkhead, from the amplifier.

[Pic shows the bit]



The engine mounts are a bit shoddy so the engine is tilting and catching that when under heavy load, moving the dodgy wires and the coil pack is losing its feed! Nutsack!

I'm now on the hunt for these this part of the loom so i can get jiggy with my loom or, maybe, hopefully...just clean it and see if I can get away with that!

Either way. I hate WIRING! I want a Mk1 Escort. NO WIRES and barely anything to go wrong that either me or my Dad can't fix. Failing that, My new bike (pics soon) will be put into full time use!

Count yourself lucky. My mate Ben (the one who came to Nottingham in his 306 GTi6) has had his car writ off because last week, his whole loom went up in smoke. The cost of a new loom: ?1800

I'd come over and help Scott, but I've got lots to be doing with my car today
