#1: Earth Strap - ~£100 Author: rlees85, Location: DaventryPosted: Mon Mar 07, 2016 4:21 am ---- I am fairly sure I got earth strap problems and after reading some posts on here this appears common. But the threads appear to stop at "replace the earth strap" without any mention they are nearly £100 from Peugeot
This is insane. Is there anywhere else to get these from or is it just a case of having to stump up the cash?
Cheers!

Im sure i did a how to on it too..

206 has been superceded twice by newer models so some parts are no longer made / available / bloody expensive as there in short supply now.
One of the issues running a car that is no longer in production.
I'd just make one up at work out of heavy duty forklift battery cable & lugs if I required one.

I can no longer check as i dont have a 206 anymore.

Someone may have a spare lying around which would be awesome if he has. If not I'll have to try and DIY something together, possibly using the Halfords bits that are available...

#7: Re: Earth Strap - ~£100 Author: rlees85, Location: DaventryPosted: Sat Mar 12, 2016 3:05 pm ---- Cheers mate.... I already sorted it, in the end I (luckily) found a genuine Peugeot one on eBay but for a different version of the 206.
It had the same thickness and 3 points (battery terminal, gearbox and body) but the wires were longer than the one from my car plus the part numbers were different. That said, with some clever routing, it now fits perfectly fine and job done
Thanks for the help all & I think anyone who has this problem in the future is best asking on here (it seems a few of you have them lying around which is great) or keeping an eye on eBay...
