Respectfully disagree on Soldering

It is the best connection you can have, crimp and then solder and it will never turn loose....if your car has enough vibration to cause a good solder joint to come apart then you probably did not survive the drive that caused it.

I'm not in the UK but near me is a place called Terminal Supply and they sell everything for household or automotive electrical down to harness making supplies, connectors etc. Maybe there is a place like that near you or you can order online.
