no its not ,running around with partially seized calipers is risky ,theres bugger all at rear of a landy
I am surprised at you James. I have a lot if respect for your gearbox knowledge, but I didn't see you as someone cutting corners.
There is two ways of doing the job and 7 core is not the correct one :I.

not everyone wants to pay for a new loom or even spend the time ,it works fine ,lasts and does the job ,im not saying its necessarily the most professional way ,but is a good quick cheap fix ,it worries me more when people cut corners with brakes ,steering suspension and not changing unit oils, and with boxes you wont frind too many that can build the whole lr range bar the new ones without a manual

I think its the OPs decision as to how much he wishes to spend. It is certainly a cheap fix - but good - here I think we differ.
I dont think you can compare it with brakes or steering, but a prospective fire, with children on board is not something I would like to see, particularly as the cost is not, necessarily, much more.
I think the same applies to all vehicle work. Only do work you feel competent and confident to do. Do not cut corners unless you are aware of the risks and consequences involved.
My understanding was that the OP did not want just straight replacement wiring. he mentioned power to the rear, a rea work light, etc. These are all things that need to be catered for, not just added on to existing wiring.
Once the OP has decided on all the things he wants, or prospectively wants, then the new fuse box he has purchased needs to be sorted as to what fuse rating to use for what circuits. That may well have an effect on the current rating of wires required.
You wouldnt rebuild the brakes on a car without knowing what the vehicle was being used for. The same applies to anything that is a safety critical component.
put in trailer wire :hysterically_laughi
I think thats the OP's decision - dont you?

never said it was the best option ,but for some more than adequate ,which is only my point, someone mentioned it and it was dismissed as stupid which its not ,the whole cars is full of price comprimises,

My, that opened up a can of worms! I've been off-line for a while, *had* to arrange a stag-do, then get over it, then get over a cold (etc etc).
Still not sure what to do for the best. But I think the two options I'm most keen on are:
- fitting the blade fusebox to and repairing the existing loom in-situ
- getting a 2nd hand loom and modding it so it's what I want
I can't afford to have Scratchy off the road for too long so removing my loom, repairing it and refitting ain't really an option.
Here, HMH, do you fancy coming down for that barbecue then? Bring the boss and if all goes well we could do a few CR lanes n'all! And we could *maybe* have a look at the existing loom and see whether it's a lost cause or salvageable...
