Thread: County wiring

WTF is that mess of heater hose? Mine has one into the hvac unit and one out. The wiring on mine is a bloody mare's nest but I thought that was the usual British approach to making a simple job complex. Poms could never make a good electrical system or a good gearbox. Bloody wires everywhere and those multi-purpose switches. What was wrong with having a row of switches on a dash panel and making them accessible.

I've sorted all my ghosts/electrical gremlins. Engine wouldn't shut off and brake lights intermittently turned on then wouldn't work at all. Both relatively easy fixes.
However I really want to tidy up my engine bay and wiring as it's been butchered in past and has a big mess of half deleted spaghetti new wiring over old etc. I'll load some photos shortly!
Does any one know if a stock wiring loom could even be bought? Or even a standard wiring map? Mine has been converted to blade fuse setup and nothing is where it should be!
I know how I want my electrics to be set up but I'm a little worried about the amount of work and $$$ coin to get it there.
Sorry for the long winded post spegatti always does my head in 🤣
Also does any one have a Isuzu county around wandin or eastern suberbs? I'd love to meet someone and compare the pair.
Cheers

hahha
yep its a mess! Heater hose is for the lpg gas injection set up. Which I'll be selling soon. Just have no idea what it would be worth? I want the engine bay tidied and simplified before I set up the turbo.
I've got a photo of rijidij's engine bay in the shed...for inspiration of course hopefully my engine bay will look half as good when I'm done! 😜

Far out that is a mess! not gonna be fun sorting through that. heres what i did on my conversion wiring wise.

The wiring schematic is in the owners manual. You can buy all the manuals from the site store.

Thanks Guys.
Ive got more Engine bay envy now. haha. A mate of mine thats a truck auto elec had a look yesterday. His not keen on doing a complete custom re-wire due to time restraints and it been such a mess, But suggested and asked the question if it would be possible to hunt down a standard later model (200 or 300tdi defender ) complete fuse box and wiring harness and run that. Does any body know if this could be an option. Ive attached a photo so you have some idea what I'm dealing with.
