its a shitter when you get a car that some dodgy fucker has owned before. people who don't have a clue about wiring should leave well alone. my ex's first car was the same. the lad that had it before had botched allsorts and pretty much every visible wire had been cut and jointed by twisting the wires and wrapping them with tape. it was masking tape in places too.
