Don't even know if they are called that, but looking to get 2xreplacement for the bottom of the radiator. Had a look, but haven't yet found ones that look like my old ones. Halfords be the place to go, or any electrical specialist? And just making sure thats what they are called!

I've changed them all on my mini, including the fusebox, its easy, first you cut the wire as near to the old connector as possible

Then trim the insulation off about 12mm from the end, then crimp the new connector on!!( i use a pair of snips/ side cutters

Take the old one with you to Halfords or B&Q or a local auto factors if you only need a couple.
The switch at the bottom of the radiator on an SPi can be tricky as often the cable itself is corroded/rotten inside.
Better to use a proper crimp tool - B&Q do a set including a decent tool.

Thanks chaps. You are spot on FS, The cable on one of them has snapped off, with the end of the it inside the connector.
