WANTED : Uninsulated crimp terminal for plug
I've had a disaster with the ignition control module unit wiring harness plug on my blade engine F27. I've had problems with the tacho,
and after looking at the tacho output wire in the plug, it literally pulled out in my hand! I've managed to strip the plug, and I'm pretty
sure the crimp is the one in the picture/link below. Now I'm not tight by any means, but 22p each is fair enough but £3.95 postage for it is
taking the piss. Anyone got one lying around, or know somewhere else to get them?

Either beef-up the order to make the ppostage worth while or ring them and ask them to pop some in an envelope. I used AES and they posted stuff for
me in a jiffy bag for £2.50 when I phoned them. Worth a try?

10 x Female Blade/Spade Terminals + Insulations 2.8mm | eBay
Not sure if they are the same or not?
Ignore this, they are completely different!

I suppose it's worth a try, I could ring them and see if they will put them in an envelope with a 41p first class stamp on, bit more reasonable!
I've trawler eBay etc and to no avail, RS components only do 100 at a time, no sign of them at Maplin. Hmmmmmmmm......

May have a couple but from the picture I'm not 100% sure they are the right ones. Can you post a pic of the plug housing.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I'm not 100% sure the one I posted above is the exact terminal. I've taken some pics of the plug, hopefully my link will work:
The broken retrieved crimp terminal:
I'm tempted if I can't find the right one, to try and solder back onto the remainder of the broken terminal, I think it might just work!

I have a few knocking about. You need to measure the width of the connecting part, length of the connector and length of the crimp part, or put up a
link for the VWS item (not the photo).

Mmm the ones I have are for amp multi plugs. I'm not entirely sure they are an exact match for your housing. They do look very similar but
perhaps with a smaller square hole in them?? See what the others come up with and if you need to try them then U2U me.
ETA that on vwp's site mines are part no 3-5560

I know this doesn't help pricewise but I think they might be small superseal connectors or econoseal. Try the polevolt site who have more OEM
stuff under sealed connectors.

Not one that I have. As Owelly said, give them a ring, they are very approachable.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm doing some work in a Vauxhall dealer today and one of the techs has given me some which are similar, not exactly
the same, but I'll have a look when I get home.
Thanks again all!

Good news, I carefully soldered a flying lead onto the broken crimp and refitted it. Worked a treat. My problem now is it looks like the ECU
tachometer signal is buggered.  If I take a signal off one of the coil packs, I get action on the tacho, but obviously only half actual revs! The
tacho is not programmable either.
