Hi where can I get a wiring diagram I can read?
My modern Haynes manual diagram is dreadful even when I try to blow it up on the printer the wiring colour abbreviations are mostly illegible
Cheers

Look in the knowledge base section we have them there...Steve

These books by Coventry Auto Components are very good..

Yep agreed - very useful and reasonably priced.

Jim, I suggest that this should be added to your library:


As Heuer says in the knowledge base, technical information, everyone should have a copy with pages from the technical section being for ready reference printed off for use in the garage/workshop.

And another vote for the Coventry Auto Component books

I have that book and have copied all the relevant drawings very handy when restoring various parts.
I have now printed off some Colour wiring diagrams happy days

Must admit I did strip this car when I was 15 I’m 51 now and can mostly remember where stuff goes

I re-drew the Haynes one ("from chassis numbers IE.500001") in Visio and saved it as a PDF. That way it prints nicely and you can zoom in without losing clarity. I did amend the layout to make it more readable, and had to leave a few un-necessary "extras" that didn't relate to my 1965 model. The missing areas are listed in the notes.
With a bit of luck it is still here:

Cheers saved it dammed printers just run out of ink

I had a similar custom made wiring diagram a few years ago and had it professionally printed as an A1 size poster (which was pretty cheap) which I stuck to the wall for easy viewing. Thats the advantage of PDFs they can be printed quite large

I bought one of these and I have to say that it's fantastic! The first page is the overall schematic which is about the same as what is in the knowledge base. but then, each of the systems has its own page devoted to an enlarged view of what goes where and it even has a page with the instrument clusters showing where the connections of each wire go on the back of the instruments. It is by far the clearest, most easy to read and interpret set of wiring diagrams that I've seen. Well worth $20.
