Haha.
Well Pete is on this thread.
First thing we need to know is the colours of the wires that are damaged. Wires burnt out just before fuse box, and wires burnt out in fuse box that common to the relays. Will have to go through past invoices... remember you need a rev1 from your ecu code you posted .2mad wrote:I've got a rev2 chassis loom for sale

& rev2 looms.. If I remember rightly.Draven wrote:2mad wrote:I've got a rev2 chassis loom for sale
Kev.
There isn't much difference between rev1
(i just dont know the repining) ... i really dont want him to buy a rev2 loom and wonder why it didnt work.
Fingers crossed I/We can do this lol (in more pieces than when I taken it may I add 
I know its not a big deal but still feel like I have had the pi$* taken out of me) and I have just had a look at them wires.(says circuit opening relay on it). (the passenger foot well) .. and replace ... if they sitill burn out we will go from there .2mad wrote:If you can trace back as far as they will go
Another pic of the fuse box wiringPic of the top of the fuse box(kind of hard to make out the colour of the wires) but hopefully they will help a little more 2mad wrote:If you can trace back as far as they will go
Feel kinda dumb again (lol), but it kind of goes underneath the fuse box in the rear of the car and into a bigger chunk of wiring that's all coiled up. It is quite difficult to see where it all goes aswell and looks like it branches off if that makes any sense? Any tips of the best way I can do this? or is it a case of taking the wires out of everything until I get to the end? (or broken wires) so too much current has tried to earth through that set of wires. -killerferret666 wrote:Peter I'm sure will be along with a more knowledgeable answer.
It's 1am and i'm just back from the workshop having got hold of a subframe for Munir's car at 8pm, and now got it on 4 wheels and fired up. Shower and bed for me!killerferret666 wrote:
It could be that some earth points are bad
Mine did this when I first bought my car , one of my earth straps melted.. So i cleaned up the rest (using my dremol and sanding drum)... I had some zero gauge cable left over for an audio install .. so I made two extra earth straps .. one from the alternator braket to the firewall .. second from the gearbox to firewall .. also fitted a third from battery ground to the cars body.. Never had any problems after that.? .. really got my fingers crossed for you (cant afford to throw more money into it anymore).(white with black line).'main' one back as much as possible (pain in the ass as it is all taped up under the plastic sleeve). . i've got all the kit to recondition the loom .. you.. i'd recomend buying a rev1 chassis loom .. and sorting your engine earth straps out . 
. Trying to hunt for a paperclip at the moment hoping that can do it.... and hope for the best lol.lee66 wrote:
My plan was/is to find a healthy bit of wire, snip it, solder new wire in, connect it all back together, add a couple of extra earths.
.. all i was thinking by the time you have bought 30 amp+ cable and kit plus time and effort .. £50 for a rev1 chassis loom .. might be easier... extra engine earth straps a must .. like i said i did mine .. no problems after that Hopefully its not very long because its all taped up inside the plastic protector and looks a right pain in the ass to undo it all lol. Also it looks asif the plastic wire protector branches into two, one side looks like it goes to parts of the engine, the other looks like it goes under my air filter and disappears into the side of the car.(if that makes sense lol).
