After deciding my rangie was a fire hazard from previous owner's that have even less of an idea than me I've decided I really should re-wire it. Because it been butchered so badly it need's a 100% re-wire.
Because I dont like wiring at the best of time's does anyone know of company's that do a 90% made loom which is all set up with relay's/fuse's and will save me a heap of time ?
and... an auto elec in the western burb's of melbourne that will do a weekend for cash fixing any F#$k up's I make?

painless is good. however, either do it yourself and do it right, or just give it to an auto sparky and get him to do it from scratch, it's one thing to wire up an entire vehicle but it's another thing entirely to fix up someone's stuffups.
it's not that hard to do yourself, just work on one circuit at a time, don't think of it as one big bundle of wires.

I'm a tight ass and dont mind doing thing's myself, I was just seeing if there is anything out there to save me some time.
every auto spark I've spoken too has instantly doubled their price when I have mentioned the word range rover. haha

What he said. I have wired 2 landies from scratch. It isn't that difficult - as above, just do it one circuit at a time. I didn't buy a harness either time - the first landie I had some 5-core insulated cable so I ran 2 runs of that to the back (brightest tail lights ever on a landie!!!). The 2nd one I had a new OEM rear harness so I used that. All the rest was made 100% from scratch.
If you are doing it this way though, buy professional solderable connections for everything major, rather than the crappy supercheap ones.
The best part is, when you do it yourself you can improve on the standard wiring - e.g. put a relay in for the headlights!
