Sorry mate i don't but if you get your hand down between the bulkhead and cylinder head, feel along the EGR pipe and just down from the pipe you should be able to feel the earth as it goes to the head.

Well it won't hurt to have a secondary earth point just in case.

[BAV1]

Have a search for the wiring diagram it should show you the earth points but as far as i can tell it earths the engine to body so it should also earth the g/box through that as well, or you could put an earth strap from the g/box to body and have the earth from the head to body as well. Just to cover all the bases then.

sounds like a plane going to get 2 earth straps tomorrow and install one from box and one from block

cheers mate

IIRC there is also an inhibit, that stops the box changing until the fluid is warm. TonyN will be along to put me right.

[BAV1]

do you know any more about this as when it has worked always when its been running a while i.e engine on the hotter side

cheers

Possible coolant temp sensor...I can't remember exactly.
