RobSR Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Cheers bud! Haha if you think the routing on thats bad...strip down the dash loom, now that is some weird routing lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 aye ive striped one before ha! its pretty impressive when you think how much R&D prob went into that loom just how much wire is actauly wasted. i supose theres likely reasons like plugs for optional extras and what not that contribute and works out cheaper to make one loom that all the different variations but still seems a waste id hate to see the inside of a modern car loom with all its extra electrical systems!
