legvw 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 What colour is the wire on the temp plug? Looks brown, in which case it should be an earth. Link to post Share on other sites

legvw 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 No. It's an earth, so should not be connected to the starter. Not the positive on the starter anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Why have you got an earth point down by the starter? It should be up on the back of the inlet manifold? Link to post Share on other sites

ashmk3 0 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have an earth from bonnet to the wing, then one from battery to chassis and chassis to gearbox. Then there's a group of wires with a few earths on under the inlet manifold on the engine block. Link to post Share on other sites
