The wiring in my VK Holden has been butchered in the past by previous owners,so the time has come to rewire it,does anyone have any idea's on what a costing could be!,and and a good auto sparkie!auckland area

A full rewire will get expensive in a hurry. Why not get an unbutcherd loom from another car and change it over!

The loom in 3 parts from memory.What part/parts are butchered and what model VK!Berlinais easy.Royal not so much but definately doable.

its the berlina model ,the loom from fuse box (enginebay) to ignition,i had a faulty imobilizer,its been removed but the left over wiring is crap,makes me wonder was the imobilizer faulty!,so im keen to change the loom,get the alarm tested, might try pic-a-part ,

I rewired a hq it was 4 k a vk has more wiring so I would imagine it would cost more! It would be cheaper to buy another loom and get it fitted

I had my VH re-wired around 5 years ago. Was a custom job with new relays, engine bay wiring hidden, elec seats, windows, battery in boot, upgraded fuse box the lot.Cost was around 2.5k back then & they had the car for 2 months. Find an un-raped VK & remove the loom from that. Good luck
