where on earth is the earth?

after solving the thermostat problem that seem to be going round of late my temp gauge is still twitching and flicking when various electrical stuff is tunred on/off etc.

I'm gonna look for it now but just in case I don't find it does anybody know off-hand where the earth is for the temp sensor??

Please help cos I thought I'd healed my baby!! :cry:

well had a good look there was one earth point that I'd actually painted over when I did the rocker cover - and it's been in the mechanics twice!!

as if they didn't notice!!

Ok not all mechanics lol

just most of the garages visited - bit like lawyers

they usually take you for everything you got - unless you find an honest good one

The only bad places I've been to have been franchises - Olds, Topgear and Mazda - they've all either ripped me off, lied to me or I've had to go back for work to rectified.
