E30 Phase one wiring + help needed in the Manchester area?!
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2009 10:51 pm
Bit of a unique problem.
I have an E21 323i. Have had the engine from an 86 325i (phase 1) fitted in my car along with the complete wiring loom.
Touch wood haven't suffered from any electrical gremlins, but really wanted to also take across the electric mirror loom, so that I can get my mirrors working (E21 mirrors are handily the same as E30)
Bought some E30 mirror looms of a zoner and asked my local auto electrician to wire them in. He said that apart from having to drill into the door wells to fit the larger E30 plugs (something which I would be o.k with) they don't seem to fit the existing wiring loom.
Is this because the phase 1 wiring won't fit the Phase 2 electric mirror looms?
Any advice with this wiring loom would be appreciated. Since I am useless at this type of thing, if anyone could volunteer to look at my car it or recommend an auto electrician in the Manchester area then that would also actually be ideal.
Thanks in advance.
