Hi i am after a good auto electrician on the south coast (Brighton Area) but willing to travel a bit if the right man can be found.

I need the following work done.

1 After making a complete hash of swapping the boot over i need my loom repaired.

2. I want to upgrade my wing mirrors to electric ones.

Any recommendations?


Alternatively I have seen Looms for sale on Ebay how hard would it be to run a new one in?

If it is a full loom then it would be a nightmare as it would be a dashboard off job and disconnect everything electrical and then try to remember where all the connections go.

A part loom would be easier, or just patch in the part of the loom you need to.

Regards the mirrors, I would check first that the connections and loom aren't already there. It is often easier and cheaper for a car manufacturer to use a common loom, so the connections may already be their. You would need the mirror switch and a new instrument binnacle cover as well.

Thanks for replying. Were electric mirrors always an option or was it somthing introduced on the MK2? I have the switch and mirrors what is this misterious instrument binnacle you speak of?

It is where the switch goes. I will try and post a pic later.

This is the bit. It goes in front of the intruments, just behind the steering wheel.
