Not starting the work yet, once the garage is done. I'll get this done. The T/A is on my aunties drive way at present.
Some time ago I had troube with an earth and it showed up on the lights. At a car show in Waterlooville I was investigating earth. There is an earth stud on the wheel arch in the engine bay. Tried to undo it to check the joints, the stud was rough and curroded. Moved the battery cable to another earth point on the car and things were better. To this day that earth is still in that temporary point.
So my ain is to put on a new earth point. run a new port cable to the starter. New earth cable to the block, and new power cable to the alternator.
I have ordered the crimp tool, and a variety of crrimps for 8mm and 10mm studs and other sizes too. Wasn't sure what size wire to use. I have used 16mm2 on power cables at work, and they were pretty hefty. So went for 25mm2 for the car.
Ordered online, and arrived really quick.
What size is usually run to starters? 25mm2 is smaller than I was expecting, it does have it written on the cable. I dont have the T/A here, perhaps this is the same size that is already on there.
