Dear all,
Where should I connect the braided engine earth cable to. Gearbox and chassis leg? Left or right side. Which gearbox bolt. The car came without an engine earth cable
Thanks
Michael

Mine is connected between one of the gearbox crossmember bolts, and one of the three bolts that hold the steady cable bracket to the gearbox. This is on the passenger side of my UK car (left side when looking forward from the driving seat)

All in the same place except for the MM.
Another one advises what can happen if you don't have a good earth strap...

Indeed. I once experienced a fuel pipe which was
very hot when operating the starter motor.
