Strange Earth Wire Location - Battery/Aternator/ABS lights -

thanks for the reply conan - i put the battery on charge again yesterday and it won't hold charge. Had it charging for 8 hrs and dash lights up but wouldn't start up. Left over night and it's flat as a pancake this morning - not even central lokcing will work!

So i need to get a new battery just to see if it will run - is there any special procedure or precaution when fitting a new battery to the 8? Best Regards Antony
