The wiring loom on the 500c to the boot is different to the 500. 7 wires in the C, more in the 500.Same problems occur with those older models as the wiring is too short and inflexible through the gromits and usually stress and break causing issues. Nice little motor and a bargain price to buy for both your prospective purchaser and for you guys at the start, wish I’d managed to get one that price for the OH.

Hi Rob & Chris, great job with the electrics, always go for the plugs and sockets first as they tarnish rotten especially on Italian cars, bit of electrical switch cleaner sprayed on them helps keep them working longer. I needed a cabin filter for my own car and sourced a Comline activated charcoal one, yet to arrive, but hopefully a Qashqai is easier to fit than the 500! Keep up the fantastic videos coming.

To be honest I'm seeing electrical problems on farm equipment from 2000 onwards where the terminals are corroding in sealed multi plugs, I think the materials they make the terminals from now might be cheap junk, compared to older stuff that had less terminal problems. One brand of tractor I see a lot with this issue happens to be Italian made Landinis L.O.L Take care guys.
