I think the one behind the dash is probably nowhere near as corroded as the one I dealt with tonight - much improved now.

Sorry, I'm a bit dumb about this - only just got the notion that a rusty earth point doesn't help things :) > The only earth problems I've had on a 900 have been alternator > earths. Okay.
