Hi

Which model of 33, and which earth wires? There is normally an earth from the engine then bolted onto the bodyshell (front bulkhead) before going to the battery -ve terminal.

All the best

Hi

It is a large diameter (7~10mm outside diameter) black cable. It bolts to the engine near the starter motor, then comes through the bulkhead and up to the battery. I will try and take a picture for you on my P4 if you give me a day or so (if I forget then please remind me).

All the best

All earth wires should be black or with a black tracer. There are three bolts for earthing auxiliaries on the l/h end of engine bukhead near the fusebox. Any black wire attached to the body is earthing something.Make sure all these have clean contact.
