Thanks Theo,

I'd say unless you were very confident with electronics it is easier to swap the loom as its relatively 'plug and play'

If you wired it yourself how would you get through the multi-plugs?

I think the electrical work you ve done in your corsa is very good, and your guide should be put in the faq section!!

However I would correct only one point in your guide.

I think Its not obligatory to find a loom from an old corsa and fit it into yours.You can buy better and cheaper cable from an electronics shop.
I ve read the hanes manual and it says that the fuse is 30 Amper.
So you only need 4-5 meters of 2-way cable that can "withsand" 30
Amper.
The wiring I assume is simple. Wires from the motors to the switches, from the switches to the 30A fuse and from the fuse to the 12v power source.

Anyway I think your guide is great, and when I finish with my installation perhaps I will add something to make it even better.

Cheers:thumbs:
