Has any body used one of these modules
There's no reviews on there site, or is there anything else you would recommend for a scratch build loom.

thats bloody expensive!
i scratch built my entire loom all i done was buy some cheap relays and a universal fuse box off ebay these cost me about £17 all in then i cut a
sheet of alli and bolted them to it. i then spent about £60 on about 15 different colours of wires each about 10 metres long, the bought a load of 12v
plug connectors and spent about a day soldering everything together, and tried to draw rough wiring diagrams as i went along 
to my surprise almost
everything worked first time including the indicators!!!

I thought the CBS 12 unit was expensive also ... until I made my own. If I was to do it again I'd buy that unit as everything is there including
busbar, what you lose in initial outlay you will likely save in time when compared to creating from scratch.

I'm thinking the same. I've spent about a year trying to do my own now. Plus 2 years trying to find someone else to do it. I think I could
have it all put together pretty quick with this, plus no time needed planning out what goes where, making all the terminal connections between fuses
and relays (thats all done) don't need to work out how many fuses you need.
The cost of decent fuse boxes, relays, relay bases etc probably adds up to about £30,
I'm ordering one tonight!

Wow, that's expensive looks like the cover is extra too. Although to be fair if wiring not your strong point could be worth it.

I have seen those modules you speak of, i am not convinced they make it easier to wire a car but they are OK.
