Earth and rubber hose?

[atokley]

Off the passenger side inner wing i have a big earth strap not connected to anything, can anyone tell me what this connects to?

Also in the driver side wheelarch there is a black tube/box with a rubber line going into it connected, but the one that normall goes along/thru the crossmember is disconnected from where i had to crossmember removed, what does it connect to?

Thanks guys

it depends, theres either one that goes from the gearbox to the shell (bolted in theres a hole) or theres one on the loom that bolts into the same hole.

what litre is the car, and injection??

Earth should bolt to a threaded hole on the inner chassis leg & Earth the headlamp loom too aswell as the gearbox earth strap.

Other sounds like the active carbon canister which just vents petrol vapours back through the inlet via the canister which must reduce odours or summat gay that only a single point injection wagon would have!

yep. my motor started life as a lame 1.2 spi f10wr.

are you sure the pipe isn't on the passenger side? as this controls the vacuum, you'll probably find a vacuum pipe coming from it somewhere?

Gonna try a few more things tomorrow
