Hi all, my very recently imported 1996 Eunos has a series of what look like professionally installed earth wires connecting various components in the engine bay. As I don’t actually have the car yet (awaiting V5) - I haven’t been able to investigate further, but I’m baffled. You can see them in the accompanying photos as the pale blue leads - they look like plastic-coated washing line.
Why would they have been installed? - and is there any logical reason why I shouldn’t remove them? - for a tidier engine bay. Ta.
I’m guessing the main engine to chassis wire has rotted away and someone has put them in place as a temporary measure or quick fix they ain’t been installed by a professional or if they have he was crap at his job I’d be getting my p 45 if I did work like that lol
Many older cars have these fitted to maintain the earthing circuit, not perhaps the neatest of jobs but if the car is running fine then I suggest leaving them in place as you may just end up with hassle if you take them off.
