My earth is only 12 inches long from my battery in the boot No, went straight back in to the original battery earth points as we thought it was best to reconnect everything. Where has everyone else earthed to? ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

grab a jump lead, stick it on the earth of the battery and on the chassis somewhere to act as an additional earth and try start it.________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

Will do when I'm next down there. welshpug! wrote: less volt drop through the cable. But I'm not sure how that would affect starting when it's an earth? Obviously for a positive makes sense, just not sure about earth. Thanks for answering my questions, want to learn so I know for a later date  ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Voltage is a difference between positive and negative, there's not just power flowing down the positive and nothing on the earth lead  : (technically, it's flowing the other way anyway...)________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM meEmail me! Custom-made polybushes available - need an odd size or fitment? - anything from batch work to one-off pieces. |
