I pretty much worked on all I cars Ive owned save for bigger jobs or jobs that needed an extra pair od hands, then I would go down to my buddies workshop and we would tackle it toghter. This year Ive been ( out of need ) doing a lot of electrical work. Most extensive job this year was dismantling my interior center console and modifying a connector bmw ignition switch which I got from the scrappies for 50dhs which is exactly the same pin wise but a connector collar is a mirror image. Similar LR part would cost me a couple of grand. Unfortunately that wasnt the issue. So had to pull out the starter from below which was huge PITA got it refurbished at a little hidden shop that just does starter motors and dynamos. Put everything back and the job was a good one. Other electrical job was in my other older ride which developed a strange issue that every now and then while driving all interior power and headlights and tails would go out and then come back after sometime. After lengthy investigation I narrowed it down to what could only be power supply from under the hood fusebox to the interior ecu under the driver seat. So ran a new lenght of wire instead of ripping out the entire wiring loom from the fusebox point to interior ecu ( it helps to have repair manuals and electrical diagrams !) And its been 6 months plus and its been working fine. So overall I think saved myself atleast a few grand in repair costs.
