Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted September 16, 2007 clean the earth strap contact points on the gearbox and chassis, refit them with serated washers. Starter wire direct from barrel to solenoid is a simple well known bypass for all the brown multiplugs to minimise any areas or high resistance due to corrosion etc. IIRC I put that wire in for Chris when I had the car as the original wire broke down somewhere.
