Fitted a second earth to mine today. 33", 10mm/8mm fittings, 240 amp. From the top starter bolt (the difficult one) up & through the side of the battery box (drilled a 15mm hole with a flatbit) to the spare terminal on the earth post. Yet to try a cold start..... 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Fit the extra Earth Strap last summer and the whole last winter I never see the HDC failure.

I fitted the second earth lead but it hasn't made any difference to my battery drain/non starting issue unfortunately |

Just re-fitted my 2012 earth strap to my new metropolis. I seem to be getting a few errors when starting up with DSC. |

Is the bad earth issue still a problem for later cars ie my 2014 FL2 ? Or did JLR make a permanent change somewhere ? Jules |

I was going to ask the same Jules. I have an early MY11 but as people with start stop seem to already have an extra earth I wondered if all cars now had them as they all have start stop as standard don't they?

I have no idea. From reading this I think they all have 1 cable but the suggestion is to add a second.
