Great job Kev. My Passat estate needed a replacement loom for the tailgate. It was done under warranty. Then later on, when it was older, it needed one for the driver's door so I did a similar repair.

Even though wires may be the right cross sectional area, you have to take into account the number of core strands. Less strands mean less flexibility means broken wires down the line. You have to use the same or better. By better, I mean smaller but more numerous core strands. How do I know this ...I worked in the cutting shop of Lucas/SEI for eight years. I personally cut and terminated the entire looms for the first 25 Rover 75s

Great info L/uk Your right, but I just use what I have. Wiring today in cars is poor . It soon goes brittle on the insulation. Nothings made like it use to be. Thanks for the feedback See you next time Kev👍👍👍

Good workaround Kev. One thing I do when cutting a loom like that is to cut all the wires at different places to join them. That way you reduce the overall diameter of the join (as they are all spread out) and any chance of cross shorting through abrasion over time. A lot of 240 volt appliances (washing machines etc) now use steel core wire, which isn't suitable for car looms. Good Job. Saved a pretty penny there. Cheers Rob

That different lengths thing is a super idea! So simple but just brilliant. And thanks for the tip about wire types - is the steel core not flexible enough? Prone to breakage? Thanks mate, very helpful.

@@MarkMcCluney Steel wire has a much higher resistance than copper and can cause voltage drop with 12 volt applications. Vehicle and other low voltage wiring is usually copper (or sometimes aluminium) for this reason. Cheers Rob

cheers Brendan never had a bit of trouble with my auto drain cocks, perhaps more luck than judgement. There's always little niggles to contend with, part of the fun😉😂😂, my pet hate is when loco left for a while the axle pump ball sticks every time and it's a bit of a bugger to take off the way i designed it to fit, but a sharp tap with a long heavy screwdriver or similar, frees it. all the best with running your loco, see you next time, hope you get some video's of it running for us to enjoy with you.
