Melted wiring loom!

I just think that level of DIY is either foolhardy or damn heroic.[]
Just wish I had the balls to do something like that []

Like any other job on these cars, its not rocket science just a pain, patiance and a logical approach works mostly. I do have an electrical background which helps a bit but not essential

At the moment I would love to pay somebody to fix it but its just not an option cashflow wise.

ah well thats where I'm lucky at the moment. After 35years of restoring classic cars I can finally afford to pay someone else to work on them whilst I make more money []

Well it's all back together and driving again with no rattles or squeeks!
I now have one working alarm system, I just have to replace a burnt out transistor in the central locking module or just repleace the module if that fails. Then I can connect the new alarm/ immobiliser to the locks.
I dont think I can live without central locking and remote locking will stop me forgetting the alarm.
The picture is of the melted transistor but is hard to see.
Thanks for the support everbody

Well done, it's not something I'd want to tackle and I can't imagine the cost at a specialist!

Now there are no rattles or squeaks you should be able to hear the transmission whine properly! [][]

 

[JamesO]

Yep, 'tis whining nicely also leaking fluid from the input seal at an alarming rate (it uses more gearbox oil than engine oil)
Thats one job that will have to wait.

well done James .You must be a natural.[]

if you take a pic of the module from about 24" then crop it tight in picasa http://picasa.google.com/ it should be nice and sharp.It would be useful to see the chip thats blown .Whats the chip number ?
