Grant Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My opinion doesn't count for a lot as I've never had one. But don't really see the need if I'm honest?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that even the youngest of our cars is 14ish years old the earth may not be as good as it once was when the old people had them.Would actually feel the difference??

simpo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 As above you hear a lot but never see any proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Renewing your earthing cables can only be a good thing as Tom says these cars are at least 14yrs old now and the cables and connections can deteriorate. I wouldn't bother buying a kit though, just get a reel of 4 gauge earthing cable cut the sizes you need and crimp the connectors on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that sounds like a better option I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be issues that aren't obvious though, such as lights not as bright as they could be, poor starting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do prefer your idea of just getting cable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
