Morning all, I have been trying to find a decent diagram of where the earth straps should be on my 109, Haynes doesnt seem to have them in the manual, I've looked online but the diagrams seem to be copies and blur when I expand them. Has anyone got any pictures, maybe photos of what is on theirs.
Cheers, Jon.

I like to have an earth direct to engine block or gear box depending on where battery is located. If as likely under bonnet a large earth cable from batt to a bolt on the engine block and a secondary smaller cable to the chassis.

You cant have enough earth cables on a series,.or any landrover. Only use good quality cable and make sure the points of contact are nice and clean. One from the battery to engine block and one from the block to the chassis is the minimum.
