earth strap

(1/3) > >>

tomkbucks:
My disco is starting to struggle starting - its had a new starter and battery but been told its best to put a new earth strap and perhaps add a few others - any ideas were it is / how hard this is to do ? or were they may be best being put ? have had a search around and it must be an easy job to do - and an earth strap cant cost much though it was worth doing

Range Rover Blues:
IIRC the original one is near the starter motor ro the chassis, then you will find one from the battery to the body and on to hte chassis near the PAS box.

Mine has one near the alternator to the second battery and another to the front of the engine.

TDi90:
test yer glow plugs... mine need doing too....

tomkbucks:
i know the strap is shot - they did tell me it needs replacing and cant do any harm ! im sure the glowplugs need doing but will start with the cheapest thing 1st !

jaysastud:
the main earth off the battery is easy to trace it just more or less goes stright down and goes to the chassis(drivert side).there is another that goes from the engine up to the wing on the passenger side.hope that is of some help.
