Guys,

I think this one should be fairly easy !!

Looking here and at other people's photos there should be cables connecting to the right strut tower earth point

page 1

but as you can see below, i have wired all mine to the +ve terminal

I can't work out which wires should be connected to the earth.

this pic shows them but which ones do you think they are in my pic?

Having had another look, i think the 2 connectors which are attached to the top of the +ve battery clamp should actually be on the strut tower earth

Its 3 wires but 2 are joined on the same connector so just 2 ring connectors. Its the wires that go into the loom with the coil wires.

anyone agree or not??
