Bad earth?

(1/2) > >>

Bob696:
When I put leccy fan on the temp guage goes up :shock:  It also goes up when I put the lights on.

Also on occasions I am just getting a clunk (click) sound when I try and start her. Sometimes it can take 5 or 6 attempts to get the starter motor to turn but then she fires up immidiatly.

I am correct in thinking all this could be attributed to a bad earth?

BTW its on the 200Tdi

tonycougar:
Yep I would say so. Next time it won't start try connecting a jump lead from battery earth to engine block or engine earth point. Then see if it starts.

Red Defender:
had the same problem with mine  :lol:

Landyash:
I also had same problem,fixed it by fitting a extra earth lead from the engine to the inner wing   :wink:
Cheers Ash  :D

Bob696:
How about connecting the earth point on the gearbox/transfer box to chassis as well? Would that help?

(I wired another earth strap in parralel to the original and it made no difference)
