Wiring loom modification

[Chambers_RS]

£1200 included fully heat-shrinked harness with decent quality wire, spec 55 for the crank trigger / any other critical shielded circuits, and all the correct OEM connectors.
I think 1200 is a fair price and that's just a quote, by the time you add in other details like fuse boxes, switches, relays, how to start the car button or keep the key and barrel, fan over ride and other bits it'll be 1500-1600 plus. So time consuming and a lot hard than it looks.

I've hassled and hassled beanie sport to make me one for over 18 months but he won't do it as it's so time consuming and costing.

To give you a rough idea, I've modified the existing loom in the engine bay side, and I'm on my 3rd round of interior loom modifications to remove anything not necessary (including UCH, key, fusebox etc) and I've been working on mine since December 2016. I'd hazard a guess that it'll average out to 2-3 hours per week, so I've probably spent 50-60 hours so far, and I reckon I;ve got the same again. Not to mention the costs for wires, connectors, tools for connectors etc. It's a huge job, which is why I'm doing mine bit by bit. Its not the best way to do it, but its the most cost effective and doesn;t put the car out of commission for long periods of time

You can easily spend £3,000 getting loom and associated bits for it.

Also working with can signal wires is a pain in the bum, the core is like a bloody human hair!!!!

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

Wow! That is a lot of dough for a loom almost makes me think why even bother??? The main idea was for weight saving... but for £3k I can just drop a turbo on it and forge about extra 5kg loom gives me ha ha.

 

[bloke]

that's for something fancy and decent spec though, basic loom for a clio shouldn't be anywhere near that.

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

What would a basic one cost? And who can do it?

 

[Chambers_RS]

1200 quid 😂

CamMoreRon on here can. Building the mental 205
on here.
Beanie sport can but won't, EFi maybe but he's probably so busy too.

 

[bloke]

chris has said the same, for the time involved it's not worth it.

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

So what do people do than? Give up and use as is? Or modify f**k up, buy replacement and use as is lol... seems like there are no solutions. Either spend thousands or shut up and leave as is/modify yourself...

 

[Chambers_RS]

Bodge and Cut out what you don't want or buy the propa tools to remove the pins from the plugs.

Buy an omex 600 and semi assembled loom and do the rest. Or get omex to make you a full loom email them.

Puremotorsport can organise DTA to make you a loom.

Is your car a track car?

DTA can make a loom for standard engine? I've looked at their looms for throttle bodies via PMS, but if they can/will then I'd be interested


Thanks

Did that clock spring you took out have cruise control on it?

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

Hi Guys.
Probably a long shot but... anybody know what this connect to? [emoji54]kinda have noooo idea...
Clio 172 non cup interior loom if it makes a difference

Second plug (green one) goes up to interior light in the headlining and I believe no 3 (black/blue plug) is for cigarette lighter. Not 100% on the rest though, I'd also like to know what the first one is, it's never been connected to anything on my 172 to the best of my knowledge

Hmm thanks but not 100% that's the one (green) it's too short. It's actually connected to plug 1 (black) directly with 2 wires and located too close to fuse box/UCH.

Looks identical to the one I had, should sit roughly at the base of the n/s a pillar

 

[bloke]

isn't the green speakers or something? will come to me what it is...

Nah 100% not speakers. Speakers gone already this plugs are the only unaccounted for lol

 

[bloke]

clipped onto the lower dash?

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

clipped onto the lower dash?

what is?
have no idea where it came from. also, have no lower dash

 

[bloke]

ah, am sure it's clipped to the top of the lower dash?

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

I have no idea. Can't remember. But at least I know where to look now thanks

 

[bloke]

frustrating as i just can't place it and my wiring diagrams are at the garage.

And I suspect garage is not just next door?)))

 

[bloke]

nope, sorry. got one to do a new loom for so will have a quick mooch at that if it doesn't come to me in the mean time.

Forgot to grab a photo but had a look through the non existent n/s dash vent on my cup and there's definitely a green plug at the bottom of the A pillar/next to tweeter on top of the lower dash, I'm certain it's that one mate
