Harness Repairs: Introduction

Two Land Rover harness repair kits are available. Range Rover (LM) harness repairs can be carried out using repair kit LRT-86-010. Range Rover (LP), Discovery Series II, and Freelander (01MY onwards) are covered by Harness Repair Kit LRT-86-010/1.

The Harness Repair Kits contain the following components to enable the technician to carry out 'Right First Time' repairs:

_z Crimping pliers.

_z Wire cutter/stripping tool.

_z Heat shrink tubing.

_z Wire color identification rings.

_z Splice connectors.

_z Pre-terminated leads (connector pins with 90 mm wire 'pig tails').

_z Connector housings.

NOTE: Replacement connector housings and pre-terminated leads can be ordered from: SPX UK Ltd, Genoa House, Everdon Park, Daventry, Northants, NN11 5YJ. Tel: +44 (0)1327 303400.

In order to carry out a repair, a suitable hot air gun and heat resistant blanket will also be required. These can be sourced locally.

The kits can be used to make repairs to all except the following:

_z Any Media Orientated System Transport (MOST) network harnesses.

_z Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) firing circuits.

_z ABS wheel speed sensors with molded connectors (Discovery Series II, and pre-02MY Freelanders only).

_z Any wires with a Cross Sectional Area (CSA) of greater than 4.0 mm2.

If damage occurs in any of these areas, an overlay harness must be used.

WARNING: Repairs should only be carried out on wires that have been mechanically damaged, not electrically damaged (overheated/burned)
