Rob Windsor Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Dear All, I have a much loved series 3 lightweight LR 1973 and wish to renew the wiring loom. Can anyone suggest a part number or wiring loom? It is 12v negative earth, petrol 2.25. Thank you, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 There's a company that makes them up for you. Not perfect, but very close. Auto sparks. I need to order one for my 72 lightweight, now that you reminded me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrover17H Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) In my experience, with something S3 vintage anyway, you'll not need to replace the loom. Solder and shrink-wrap, and a scrap loom from eBay usually does a very decent repair for all those PO bodges. Of course if it's past that point...

Gazzar Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Mine is past that point. All that remained when I took on the project was a few earth straps, and a chunk of battery cable that was used to power a winch at the back. It was a trials truck. So am starting from scratch. Unless someone has a pristine lightweight chassis loom going spare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigj66 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I fitted a complete auto sparks loom to the 88 a few years ago and I can’t fault it. It came apart this afternoon just as easily as it went in. I wouldn’t play around with decades old wiring, just bite the bullet and fit a new one.

Romahomepete Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The loom is simple enough for you to build your own. On the S2 forum there are a selection of easy to follow wiring diagrams, it allows you to make those small mods. I rewired my S2 for about £70 a few years ago using the diagrams as a starting point. Some people recommend using trailer cable to wire the rear lights Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think with the lightweight it depends on what you would like to end up with. By this I mean the lights - which are much more complicated with options like convoy lights which extiguish al others and that sort of thing. Otherwise I don't see any reason why you can't wire it as a civilian S3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
