    Crimp or solder?

    What's the preferred method of joining T+E for an inaccessible joint? Ring final circuit... Crimp and heat-shrink, or solder and heat-shrink? Do I need to take any extra precautions if I'm connecting a new colour cable to an old colour cable (apart from the sticker on the CU)?
