Earthing Kits

[Swervin_Mervin]

Been reading on a few sites about TPW earthing kits or something.

Are these a worthwhile addition in anyone's opinion, especially on older cars like ours? Or will a clean up of the existing points achieve the same results?

This is on a Xsara. Same kit for a 306.

Also seen them on Hondas.

Obviously I'd just get the bits myself and do my own version if it is worth it.

I've been recommended elsewhere to just get my own oxygen free cabling and gold connectors and just do one from the engine to body, one from battery to body and also one from starter to body/battery.

Will do this as well as clean up existing earth points.
