Fitted two earth strap's today,(engine to chasis),seems to drive alot better now,and everything feels alot nicer!,would recomend this to anyone or buy an earth strap!,happy day's!
On the side nearest to the battery n,s,f (theres a 13mm bolt on either side of the engine mounts inbetween these!),and on the ofside (wing engine bay side to far part of osf engine mount)!Interesting, where were your 2 straps ran from on the engine, and to on the chassis ?
Yes defanatly on idle!,just seems like new lol!HAve you noticed the improved smoothness of running as described on Waks write up?

Let me know how you get on Westy! My Idle's spot on though.... (eek famous last words!)
My idle can be a little coughy at times. How thick were the straps you used? Could be an idea as I could do with cleaning my injectors too.
Most of it would be hidden under the engine cover wouldnt it? Atleast in black shrouding like that guide has done it disguises it better making it more OEM than having some of the ebay brightly coloured ground wires laying around everywhere. Unless you wanted a bit of colour
gauge is the term used for amp power cables i think. thought the lower the thicker it is and the amount of power it can handle
British sparky s measure it in mm so stop slateting papa Westy............My dad must be one useless sparky then! Maybe it's cos he's old skool
I was hoping he could pinch me some from work for free but I think it'll be easier for me to buy it online. Cheers
If your dads a sparky he should have the proper crimping tool and rings already!
Why in that wee tutorial have they grounded everything in the engine bay?
Is 2 points enough or is it worth doing more?
