Cleaning up the earths etc.

[Manny]

Same old prblem a few ppl have had previously. been told by a friend to clean the earth points/terminals and battery terminals etc... car runs fine after a jump then eventually cuts out and doesnt start without jump... can any1 put haynes pic or something showing me where they are pls? and a little bit of advice on how to go about it best, and anything else that might help. its an RSi btw...

sorry to b a pain, i did see a short post on this subject, but have looked through section and missed it due to going cock-eyed

much appreciated.

There is an earth point just above the passenger headlight next to the battery.
There is one at the back of the gearbox.
There is one on the side of the gearbox inside the passenger wheel arch.
I Think there is one on the front near the oil filter area
Theres an earth inside the passenger scuttle panel, not certain what that ones for.
And theres one under the dash top i think.

This is based on a Williams/16v probably the same for an rsi though.

whats the best way to do it? do i just clean the points with a wire brush or sand paper? and do i do it to the battery also and wherever the earths come from?

thanks for reply
