Technical Earthing points in the engine bay??

[thephyalls]

Morning all,
On a mission to clean up the earhting points on the car before its mot, found the battery-cog box earth and have cleaned it up, will put on some seperate earth cables though rather than the one long one! but figured there must be more!
anyone able to point me in the right direction of the other earhting points in the car?? will pop the coil off and give that area a good clean up, but are the injectors earthed?? and any other earthing points you know off,

Many thanks in advance!

Timmo.

That would have been a Really handy thing to mention wouldnt it! haha!
its the 1.2 16v on a 99T plate, is one of the early 1.2's,

ive not had a good poke around but was hoping for some indication of where i'd find them, will have a nose around it during the week evenings as good lady has the car for work during the day,
figure it isnt going to harm cleaning them all up!! Worked wonders on the Old citroen i own! best afternoon spent on it hahah!

ta muchly in advance.

Looks like 5 earths in the 1242 engine bay;

One on each chasis leg, shown 8 and 9, with a close up on 9 in the second pic. 10 Direct from the battery to chasis leg.




One on the engine,


One on the gearbox,


I agree Timmo cleaning the earths and every electrical connection was one of the most rewarding jobs I have done on both my cars.
