Hi, can anyone tell me where the earth strap from the engine to the chassis is please on my T25 1600 diesel?

Thanks cherry x

I have one from the battery to the engine block near where the dipstick enters the block and one from the battery to the bulkhead. There is also one from the gearbox to the chassis (or there was the last time I was under there).

Towards the mount, oi tink it were!
(Just got back from a tooth extraction and read that as 'where is the gearbox!!! '

After all that, i think i need a new battery

Its always as the temperature dips that batteries past their best and having gone through the Summer without any real problems, soon show their true colours. Likewise starters.

Hi

I have just replaced the earth strap on mine, you will find it underneath the van about half way along, it is bolted to the underside of the gearbox and the chassis.

Be careful when you replace the strap as I sheared the bolt that is connected to the gearbox. Luckily I got a strap that was quite long so I was able to connect it further along the gearbox. I got a standard battery earth cable that was 12 inches long which is working just fine
