THe problem i am having with my car - according to the haynes could be because of the engine earth strap - but it doesn't tell you where it is or what it looks like.

Could somebody point me in the right direction coz its doing my head in.

Where is it on the engine and what does it look like?

for those that dont know - its a 1.3 engine.


the name is misleading - because i am not called wisewood.

As stu said, its on the gearbox and connects to the inner wing. There is a bolt with a double nut on it - special bolt that goes into the gearbox and allows you to put an earth strap on.

try a jump lead from the battery -side to the engine to bypass the earth strap, if it fixes your problem then u will know its the strap
