...this might bring a bit of Christmas cheer - it might not.
I've never re-wired a whole car before so there's been a whole lot of procrastination going on.
For the reasons stated earlier in the thread I'm starting from scratch. I've decided to take things slow and start trial fitting wires where I think they need to go.
I'm planning to use the same colour coding that Volvo used but there will be additional wires in the loom for some modern extras. To help me along I've found a heat shrink labelling system that I hope is going to allow me to keep meaningful tabs on the slowly developing rats' nest...
...with any luck a label with "LH FRONT HL" on it will help jog my memory a bit more than a piece of 2.5mm^2 red wire (!)
