Just putting my motor back in the car... got about 98% of the wires reconnected... but i cant seem to find a location for a black wire with blue stripe on it and a spade plug connector... it looks like it should be earth... but i didnt write down what went where!

The wire is located taped up with the rear water temp sensor behind the cas. And i dont have a workshop manual otherwise it might have come in handy :oops:

many thanks

rich

I think it goes on the water temp sender (at the rear of the head) for the temp gauge. The colour code agrees with the wiring diagrams I have.
