Good heat shrink has something similar to hot glue inside that seals it.



This is a much easier fix than replacing the harness you linked. Just match colors. Use crimp connectors. They make a type of crimp connector that you can heat after it's been crimped and it will seal itself to prevent future corrosion.

If that's above what you're able to do, you definitely will not be able to replace the wiring harness as a whole. If that's the case then you need to find someone who will haul it to a mechanic.

Can this thing wired in? And I don't see any wires chewed ... Looks like it was ripped out..

 

I need to pull it out of there .. tow it out .. .. but theres no shops here .. or they dont have the skills. .. they dont speak english .. . I .hope dont have to send it back because of this ****. ..

 

Looks like temp sensor connectors for either the t case or trans. They can be wired in. Same logic, strip ends twist together, secure with some tape.

 

Some of the plugs around the transmission/transfer case are not used on every truck. As said, that looks like it could be a temperature sensor connector which is not always used. So if you reconnect it, you could still end up hunting for someplace to plug it in which doesn't even exist.

Nothing about reconnecting the torn wires is specific to Land Rover. It's literally just finding the wire with the same colour insulation, stripping some of the insulation off, and twisting them together.

That will only be a temporary fix until you can find someone who is going to be able to reconnect things permanently (i.e. solder and shrink) but it's better than nothing. Or you could take your original path of tearing apart the truck in order to replace the harness (possibly multiple harnesses) -- which WILL require someone with Rover knowledge, or at least the patience to thoroughly read service manuals before tackling the job.

 

Thanks for your helpful words. I found a mechanic who speaks English. His shop was very clean. Seems smart. Worked on TD5 Diesel before ... No USA V8 petrols yet .. I hope this doesn't take up too much of his time ...

 

Just in case .. I sprayed Moby with Pepper self Defense Spray.... threw half a pound of mint leaves in the engine bay .. saw no wires damage in the engine but if it's a rats nest it should be out of there soon. I got pepper spray on my fingers from that..and forgot about it. Later I used the bathroom. Thought I caught a disease off the public toilet seat here.. it was bad .. def not something I want to experience again .. I hope this is over soon .. and and I can finally drive out of here..

 

Please inform your mechanic that you sprayed pepper spray in your rover so they do not have a rude surprise.

 

The engine is well forward of this area, so petrol or diesel shouldn't matter. Any competent mechanic should be able to sort this out even if they have no experience with Rovers.
