Rangerover 2.8 TD caught fire....
simon15:
excellent sounds pretty straight forward enough..
shall get some decent wire to use and get the other bits and see what happens when its fitted.
gtomo2:
Yea good luck and like its been said before at least no one was hurt and the car is not a wright off.
And you can get lentghs of earth straps for most car parts shops pritty cheap
simon15:
yeah at least cars can be fixed.
seems like there is only 1 earth strap from the engine to chassis to battery negative terminal. doesnt really seem like a sensible route.
shouldnt battery negative be earthed seperatly to the engine earth?? and its all 1 wire just tacked in the middle to the inner wing.
gtomo2:
no not the best way of doing it. but think i can see the logic in doing it that way but not good. best bet is separat straps all round with the battery one going to the chasic
simon15:
Right think imay have kind of sorted the problem.
It seems to have been running 2 batteries at some point so an earth is still attached for the 2nd battery which i have now connected to the engine itself.
and im going to replace the current earth lead from the battery to engine block via the inner wing with a small clip as an earth.
replace that with 2 seperate straps. battery to chassis and engine to inner wing.
hopefully that should sort out the electrical problem and be back up and running tomorrow night :):)
