if you do have to drill a hole which sometimes its the only thing to do without spending hours of pissing about for no reson, make sure its

a, clear at the other side
b, close to some where you can secure the cable to in the engine bay so its not just hanging all the way to the battery
c, rust proof the hole you have drilled with rust remedy etc, then dab some paint round it
d, use a correctly sized grommit in the hole and once the cable is in position and through seal it with some silicon or similar product to seal any gaps

good luck :)

hi!
Well, its all done now!
I found that right up behind the glovebox on the left, there is a large wiring loom that goes thrugh the bulkhead. It is in a big grommet, so it was easy enough to make a small cut in the grommet, and put the extra cable through
