Series3 Rewiring wanted

Post by **Richard James** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 9:50 am

I have a very modified Landrover Series3 SWB Diesel that needs either rewiring or a major revision. Everything works but so much wiring has been added it is a bit of a mess specially behind the dashboard. I have been advised that for reliabilty on outback trips and so on rewiring or similar should be done. I need an auto electrician in Melbourne who would like to earn a few thousand dollars pocket money,tax free,cash for some evening / weekend work. I need a 'fixed' price quote and I can email a description of my vehicle to anyone interested. I can not afford to pay an hourly rate. The autoelectrician should be able to 'think outside the square',be thorough and competent and thrive on challenges.
If anyone is interested or can recommend any one please email me at: richard@series3.com

Surely someone in the club has the skills and knowledge to help you do it yourself..
Series 3's dont have much in the way of electrics.. and would only take a few part days to do..

I have put a post on the Landrover Club website / forum and had only one reply - referring me to a Commercial Autoelectrician.
I have just about given up waiting for another autoelectrical firm who I have used from time to time and who know my vehicle to give me a quote.
Hence my posting on this forum hoping that someone knows someone who may be interested.
Thanks for the replies so far..............Richard

Richard, i would try some of the car restorer's that do classic/ vintage cars as these guys usually make looms from scratch, try the healey factroy in ringwood and maybe some of the hotrodders in the croydon /bayswater area.

why dont you organise a LROCV club "trip" to fix the wiring on your car..

I am sure there are MANY members who can do some wiring.. and would be willing and able to pitch in...

"Richards Electrical Workshop Day" trip....

Thanks again for the replies.
I will certainly give the Healey Factory and Hotrodders a go. I hope they don't laugh at me (or my vehicle) but after all,it is a hybrid,hand built (rebuilt) vehicle,so who knows. If you have any contact details that would help but I will try the phone book any way.
Now as for a club trip....................well,that would be interesting - I could tell everyone to bring some wire and a soldering iron (and circuit tester) and I will supply the vehicle - the problem is,everything works,I just want it re -done so that I can trust it and also get rid of what must be a bird's nest of terminated and dead end wires.
