Title: Battery Earth Cable needs Replacing
Post by: vauxsky on 28 October 2015, 14:48:12

Hi, just noticed my earth cable has taken a bit of a battering, freyed against the side of the battery. Going to replace it, can someone please tell me where goes and finishes up. It seems to disappear behind the steering pump, then the plastic cowling - next to the large water inlet pipe. I will check the starter motor.

thank you for any info, did look at the posts, could not find anything, pictures would be good too.

thank you

As you can see, there's the baby, in between the aircon and the steering pump, a Torx Bolt E16 Socket

Battery is out
Main Radiator Pipe is out, I am replacing it, but you don't need to take that out.
Radiator is out, I had to replace the 2 x Rad switches - don't need to take that out for the earth strap

Pictures next showing location.
