Classic Mini SPI: Wire loom Replacement Pt. 1 What Went Wrong?

I have been wanting to replace the Engine Wire Loom on my spi for a while, now was the time, but as you guessed from the title it did not go as I expected it to!
Join me to see what went wrong and stay tuned for pt. 2 where I show how I resolved it and give a detailed look at all the wiring connections.

[@jamesbarrie2965]

Must have been pretty frustrating with the amount of time and effort you put in. Quite right to send it back👍

[@DBMiniDIY]

It was, but just one of those things i guess

[@jamesbarrie2965]

Awe dude.. that is what I worry about.. as it can be battle living across the pong getting things replaced. A whole new world.. electrical system...

[@DBMiniDIY]

Yeah i wasn't happy but its all sorted now

I see two open wires on the small ecu plug in my spi mini . Is it suppose to be like that or someone done some wire cutting previously.

[@TornadoCAN99]

That's a tough one! You doubled your effrot to swap and then swap back. I guess you'll be thoroughly testing the replacement loom, every wire & connector end to end, before fitting it?

[@DBMiniDIY]

Its all sorted now, new loom is spot on, luckily it only cost my time so got there in the end

[@troypowell1671]

i replaced my FI and ECU went back to carb. anyway i have all this wire ing in the engine bay can it be pulled out and everything still work or do i need to go with a new older wiring harness.

[@DBMiniDIY]

It can all be removed, only plug that will need swspped over are alternator and coil and starter but you will have these connectors from the new carb loom

Lol if it can go wrong it usually does with these cars

[@tobyhartley2829]

You are very calm - I think I would be less impressed with the loom suppliers after all that labour :-(

[@DBMiniDIY]

The last part of the video was filmed the next day, say no more!
