From memory, there's a bulkhead attachment just outside the AEI.

G seems to make sense as there is a grey coloured wire coming from the AEI loom to the bulkhead earth !

Cool :cool:

I guess it will be on the other side of the bay to the pic, as that diagram is LHD :agree:

yeah thanks it is the opposite side all right ......the coil earth bolts up to the battery earth strap on the bulk head.....i found my problem.....i have a renault screw type battery terminal and it wasn't making a good earth so i had to change it out for a normal bolt type one......so another little obstacle out of the way!!
