OK so heres the thing
i need to connect up some wires for my metro because me, being a real
dumb a.s i put the battery in the wrong way and burnt it up to the
side indicator and the rest is in mint... but the problem is... i got
replacement wires from a ROVER metro... so theyre differnt, is there
anyway i can still connect them or not? do i need to be that specific.
my dad was playing around with the wires today and had little
prevail... if anyone, atleast one person in the world can tell mem it
would be a great help.
I can be specific if you want and name the rover wiring and the mg
wiring...

Normally connecting the battery back to front would fry the diodes in
the alternator and any wiring between the battery and the alternator.

Since the loom is typically mostly in one piece, it's obviously much
easier to repair the damaged parts than to replace the whole thing.

How were you planning on connecting them anyway? The same methods should
work no matter the source of the wire.

I think perhaps yes. What wiring is damaged?
