Wiring is almost on finished on my 1991 rover mini 1275 but having some problem figuring out where some wires go. Here are some pictures of the wires

That wire you are holding looks aftermarket, what wire colours and also where is it located? The relay in the background of the shot is also aftermarket

First photo: brown is permanent live, white is ignition live, black is earth. So is could be the relay is intended to turn something on when the ignition is on - where does the red wire go? Terminals 85 & 86 would be either white or black, 30 brown, 87 whatever is being switched on.

 

Second photo: Twin red/black is side lights, the missing wire to the sidelight may be solid red or another colour. The single bullet could be the indicator, if the colours are green/red??? No idea on the half a fuse holder.

Could do with some Tessa tape and good connectors me thinks .

Woah,  that loom has had some "adjustments" made to it I think.

Those black wires would normally be earth/chassis ground wires.

Is that a glass fuse with wires wrapped / soldered onto it? pretty sure that's not factory.

Looks like a connector where the wire is missing too.

 

Since the wires seem to change colour too in some cases it makes things challenging to guess what they were for.

I'd be getting my multi-meter out and tracing some of these back.

 

Good luck.

Try to label each wire or write it down somewhere.. save a few headaches later on in life.. or another mini owner....
