reb78 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I want to buy some spare wire from VWP. What colours and sizes do you use the most of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 That largely depends on what you are going to be doing with it Rich. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 I thought that as I typed Mo. Perhaps it's a silly question really. All I'm doing at the moment is adding a few extra interior lights. I just thought it'd be worth while to bulk the order up to get some more. I guess earth wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I got lots from Autosparks, for my heated front screen wiring & to rewire the upper rear light in the correct colour coded wires, you can buy by the meter as much or as little as you need http://www.autosparks.co.uk/index.php?cPath=89 this page might help too http://www.autosparks.co.uk/index.php?content_page=42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 When I buy wire I sort out what I need for the application by the size of the wire, the colour code then the length. In the front of the VWP catalogue they give you the size of the wire you'll need for each application. I tend to follow the colour code as much as is possible. This chart will give you the colour codes for most wiring for UK cars. http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Lucaswirecode.htm For interior lights you should be using purple.
