+1 on not even looking at scotchloks. Bloody horrible bodge.

Clean wires, twist them together, sparing blob of solder. Heatshrink. Job jobbed, and it is IMO the most reliable joint.

When using spades I like to add a bit of solder into the crimp too. But not the wire outside the connector as this creates a brittle bit.

Just a quick update, i've cut the immobiliser box off and i'm going to have a look at the wires tomorrow after druids advice!

I'm a complete novice at wiring / electrical problems so it will definately be interesting. Just hope I don't do any further damage.

Also, I won't have made the problem worse by cutting off the immobiliser will I?

Pinickity problems like this frickin immobiliser and numerous problems with batteries etc are making me start to feel a little bit less lovin' for my SV!! Not good!!

That is one reason why I do not say I use anything. Far too easy to weedle out of claims if you specify you always use x or y lock/chain etc.

Druid what i dont understand is you wouldnt want your car without an immobiliser or alarm so why your bike surely bike alarms work just fine, i like the idea that if some git wants to steal my bike ive got a chance of hearing it and if not there not going anywhere fast with the immobiliser engaged, and as for my alarm if i dont set it it does it its self after 4 minutes and i cant see the hassel of pushing a button before i go riding...its your immobiliser that drops money off your insurance..
