At -6 I had to jump the car after it failed to start and showed HDC fault. I fitted the earth strap on a cold afternoon a couple of weeks ago, today at -3 and after sitting for three days it started without a hint of sluggishness.

just had to bite the bullet and buy a new battery,mine is the original,so after six and a half years probably due for replacing.as it is a stop start model I have got an AGM type battery, 85ah with 800cca,so should do the trick,got it on ebay for £95 with a 5 year warranty also free delivery,so happy with that. |

I seem to recall reading on here somewhere that the extra earth was fitted from factory on certain MY FL2 onwards... is this correct ?

True! I guess yours is ok. You can always open the bonnet and take a look of course.....

Interesting thread, will check mine out tomorrow, I have quite a few earth wires from the R40 diesels I had, hopefully one will be long enough, I had to have my starter refurbished a few days ago due to the earth pole snapping clean off when I removed the starter to do my belts. |

Follow on from the above, I found the earth straps I had saved but did not have one long enough for the modification of adding an extra earth to the FL 2.

I have been thinking a bit more about the extra earth strap over the last day or so, because my FL 2 already had an earth from battery to inner wing/body of the car, do I really need this extra strap to the starter motor ? as above it is in place and routed but not connected until I am sure, any opinions at all on this please. |
