Where does this earth wire go?

Post by TC »

Hi - this earth wire which comes from the loom near the battery - does it connect to one of the bolts on the thermostat housing :?:

There is a earth wire attached to the thermostat housing yet.

Can't get pic as at work.

As an aside, are your battery terminals the wrong way round? Only asking as I'm after a replacement battery and my current one's got the earth on the left (nearest the body).

Yep - good spot :clap: :clap:

Battery is new and it was just dropped in out the way when I took that picture. When it came to connecting it all up I turned it round and removed the protective covers etc.

I found the cheapest battery was from Toyota directly - £41 + vat ... was nearly double that in Halfords etc.
