pick 1 wire, follow it through the plug to find the other end of it then cut the wire & re solder it (you may need to add a couple of inches of wire between) solder together, finish using heat shrink.
Make sure to do 1 wire at a time.

Default plugs

wot do you mean originally that the plugs loomed together? i mean pluged together? if so where does the third multiplug wire too??

or do you mean solder to each individual wire within each mutiplug, as in solder it back to itself further down?? sorry bout this but nobody quite seems to understand me or vice versa??

As guzzler said, it seems pretty simple really. Your just cutting the plugs out, so cut a wire before the plug, trace it through to find it on the other plug and solder in a few inches of wire. Job done.

Do one at a time and you cant go wrong mate.

problem is as explained to guzzler, there are 3 multiplugs

1- long rectangular
2 x large oval

but on oval one has 12 wires the other only eight? so do you also incorporate the long rect one too? as this would mean 17 wires as appossed to 12 on the other side???

im slightly confused? remember that im not doing this myself anyway.?

so i need to be 100% clear exactly what goes where??

the only plugs that give you trouble are the 12 pin plugs for the engine wiring. i assume the rectangular plug is the one that goes to the ignition amp? this is a separate wiring. As said by guzzler just cut one wire on one side of the 12 pin plug, (only one at a time so as not to get confused,) and then cut the coresponding wire on the same 12 pin plug and solder them both together, i have doen this myself and it was easy to do as long as you only do one at a time, i took out my old shitty ford multiplugs and put in new 12 pin deutz plugs. I also reversed them on the ends of the wires,male and female . so at to only fit one way they can not be mixed up that way, so i can still remove the wiring harness if need be.i am also making up a break out box for these plugs so i can diagnose faults in the future, i live in australia and cossy stuff is so hard to get here, so i have to make do with what i can get. hope this helps.
