Since owning my griff it has had a number of quirks ( as they tend to) which upto now I have turned a blind eye to.

Anyway, time to try get it sorted as I have being told that there is a 2.5volt difference from the battery to engine ( which is supposedly bad) & indicates a poor earth.

Also when hot the vehicle doesn't like to start, but will if I disconnect the fans.

The final straw was when a Porsche owning friend kept staring at the dash when on a run.

He obviously was listening to what I have being told were relays making loads of clicking noises, which I have became oblivious to.

He was far too polite to mention the noise but then I did distract his attention by accelerating like **** which he was obviously not used to.

Anyway, poor or loose earth points are supposedly responsible for the above so I need some help tracking them down.

How many are there & where are they?
Is it an easy enough job

Would it cost much to get them done at a garage?

Check the bible out - I think its even got pix of some of the earth strap to chassis points - a spanner and lots of scraping around for shiny metal should do it but from what I remember reading in the New Testament (2nd edition!) some are tricky to get to.
