Renault Clio Mk2 Earth Cable

Unread post by Sb1985 »

My earth cable is no longer working due to corrosion.

I cannot find a direct replacement online. Any help would be great.

You need to confirm which year, engine and gearbox you have, together with which actual earth cable you are asking about. :)

Ok, is it the batttery to body cable or a body to engine or gearbox cable? :)

Is the problem just with the connector clamp on the end of the cable? If the cable itself is not corroded, or there enough spare length to cut down, then you should be able to fit an aftermarket connector available from a motor factor or online supplier.

I'll attach some images. It is the battery to gearbox/engine wire.

This one from a mk4 looks very similar. You could ask the seller to confirm the dimensions. :)
