The main earth strap runs form the gearbox to the chassis-its also the most likely to deteriorate so i'd check that one.

where abouts would it fasten to under neath or on top sorry im bit dopey when it comes to engines

Okay, look to the right hand side of the engine (if you're looking at your car front on). Look for the distributor-it should be red or black and have the HT leads running to/from it. If you look down and abit to the right thats your gearbox. You should be able to see a metal strap (it's looks kind of woven like an old basket lol) that is bolted to the side of the gearbox and then to the car body. Hope that helps
