Superb 2 Driver Door Wiring Loom
@Hawkeye13 Take it to a competent garage or auto electrician to get the existing wiring repaired and extended much cheaper than a new loom and fitting Or do it your self for the cost of a solder iron,some wire and an hours work There are loads of info on this forum about doing it I am sure on other post people are getting charged about £250 to replace complete loom It would be no where near that price to get it repaired and once its fixed correctly mo more trouble🙂
