When putting my 206 back together I noticed the cable where it joins the gearbox earth terminal is looking a little bit past its best. So I thought I'd look at what Peugeot charge for a replacement. £113! I think kind will be buying some new terminals and cable and making myself a new earth lead!

Forklift battery cable & crimped on terminals would be my solution.

Even Halfords sell earth cables that are less than £10

It's a part that has gone up in price stupidly. Back in 2011 when I had one for my 1.4 direct from Peugeot it was £28 if I remember rightly, may have even been slightly less than that. But when i came to need another one for the GTi 2 years later it had gone up to over £90 so I went with the halfords option. They must have gone up again since.

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile
