Well the joys of owning a landy 110 has started. No rear lights... om investigation when the previous owner had new rear section and outriggers fitted the numbnut destroyed the harness... looks like a butchers job. The mess looks beyond reasonable fathoming. The question is how to resolve... is it possible to buy a complete rear feed harness. It looks like it feeds through the chasis to the rear. Can a harness be bought to replace or will i need to get someone to rebuild the loom? It appears that i have lost all rear lighting reverse light etc.... ironically the only thing working is nearside indicator. ... any suggestions or signposting welcome

You might be wise to consider either:
a) running new cables in whatever colour you have available;
b) having a new, correctly coloured part loom made up;
c) replace the entire loom to avoid wiring future faults.
As a Landy owner since the days of Series I, I have found that many of us have used option a).
There are many suppliers of full- and part looms around.
Good luck

It can be bought although shop carefully as there are about 20 versions, generally if you make sure there are enough wires and the right plug on it you will be able to make it work even if it does involve a small tweak here or there!
It should plug in up at the bulkhead next to clutch pedal box (or close enough), it then drops down into a big hole in the chassis with a rubber grommet, then via the chassis rail to a rear hole and out there.
If you have not already removed it, keep the old loom in there to use as a pull through, or use the old loom to pull a piece of light rope through or similar to use as a pull through. Some people externally mount them but to be honest a new loom pulled in carefully is going to last many many decades in the chassis where it is well protected.

I have used a length of heavy duty trailer cable [ 9 core ] for this job,strung it along under the tub.

As above use some multicore caravan cable and the jobs a good un. Use the old loom to pull the new cable through the chassis or run externaly.
A second vote for Auto sparks, very good quality. I agree with nobber about the routing, I did the same thing. New harness, fitted in plastic conduit and wrapped in self amalgamating tape for protection, then ran it along the top of the chassis rather than through it. Not had a problem in the 5 years it has been there. I have just done the same thing with the new rear harness on the series III as well.

I guess that's why Landrover did it then?

I too have just got one from autosparks to replace the (badly) butchered one on my 90. When I get round to fitting the new chassis.
Yes, they did it for protection, the same protection they used when they built their chassis out of rubbish steel then left it unprotected against corrosion, so when it comes to welding it you had a harness in there to worry about. Then there is the constant damp inside a chassis, if it is outside a chassis you can see it, repair it, test it, and if you are clever enough to keep it up out of the way it wont get snagged. If it is longevity you are worried about, like damage from the elements or environmental wear and tear you can always have it galvanised or encased in gun metal.
