They're standard factory splices. You'll come across a few, especially in the earth cables.

Yeh,piece of mind indeed, & if that's factory fitment it's no wonder Mini's had such a bad reputation for electrics, either rightly or wrongly!

Some argue a well made crimp is better than solder as it isn't as prone to failure due to vibration and dry joints etc. Although if I remember rightly from the looms I've pulled apart and reworked, some of the factory joints use both crimps and solder.

Right, update! I've removed all the wires that I don't require ie heated rear screen switch , fog lamps , interior light etc
All the bad joins are soldered and heat shrunk . The fuse box is almost done though I need to rewire all the brown wires from the starter to the fuse box. Hopefully finished tommorrow !!
