Everything in my engine bay(s) has a coppery tinge. :-) If you have corroded earths, undo the bolt, clean up the terminals with a wire brush/emery paper, and reassemble with generous lashings of copper grease. > Okay.

Identify the balck wire that comes off the back and bolts to the engine nearby. That's the alternator earth. Check it. If it's falling apart, replace it. That's it - pretty simple. > Thanks for the reply Grunff, Anytime Paul. -- Grunff
