Have you earthed the battery locally? My earth is only 12 inches long from my battery in the boot


No, went straight back in to the original battery earth points as we thought it was best to reconnect everything. Where has everyone else earthed to?

grab a jump lead, stick it on the earth of the battery and on the chassis somewhere to act as an additional earth and try start it.

But I'm not sure how that would affect starting when it's an earth? Obviously for a positive makes sense, just not sure about earth. Thanks for answering my questions, want to learn so I know for a later date Smile

Voltage is a difference between positive and negative, there's not just power flowing down the positive and nothing on the earth lead LOL: (technically, it's flowing the other way anyway...)
