Well what a surprise, an electrical problem on a 206. haha. been driving round all morning fine, parked car up grabbed some dinner and come back to it and nothing, no ignition, no lights, no remote central locking. almost as if they was no battery connected to the car. after a short while, relised that the battery ground strap had snapped in half. Now got to wait three hours for the local motor spares place to get the part in stock. but what i want to know is what caused this?

Thanks

You sure it hasn't just pulled out of the connector? If so that could be down to the cable being to tight.

There a known weak point and snap quite easily with age.

Where abouts does the earth strap go to, battery to top of gear box? Can't find the original bolt with a connection on?

The one on top of the gearbox was going to the chassis so put it to a different gear box mount, works find though.

They both go to the same point on the gearbox.
