Or should the damaged section of loom be replaced ? Done a couple using heat shink connectors and been ok so far !

Solder within a heatshrink tube. It looks and so nice when done and not a hint of volt drop through a joint all the same. Only downside is they are sooo expensive. For normal tin repairs solder method is fine in my stance - when done correctly and at correct spacing / number of repairs etc. Cheers Doctor... Edited

This was around ii years ago, and it's still running with no issues Tony 'Learning All The Time'

Just with vehicles using many sensitive ecus just wanted to see if i was doing things correctly and if there were whatsoever better more reliable methods.

Although at the terminate of the day, we take to practise what the manufacturer recommends, if nosotros don't, it's a get out of jail card, if/when it doe'south go wrong. Regarding scopes, gotta say [again], that i do honey my pico, and it trounces my old crypton 335 Regards Tony 'Learning All The Time'
