Hi guys do any of you know where the two ground wires go that I have circled and also where the white / grey clip goes and it one has one brown cable going to it? Thanks a million!

 

Also a map of where all the ground wires go would be great Thanks so much

Buy one of those grounding kits. People reckon they help.

Thanks trying Jack any updates on your car?

[jack_keaka]

Yeah, just a few pieces left to put back on and then she is up for sale!

Hi mate there should be a single earthing cable directly between the 2 points you have highlighted as far as I'm aware. I'll double check on the grey plug when I'm home but I think that might belong to a sensor underneath your alternator. I have a feeling it goes underneath the alternator and there is a small brown plug at the front of the block.

Sorry the grey plug connects to a white plug/blue cable which seems to come from the back of the power steering pump.

Thanks so much for the info and d you know where the other end of the earthing cable should go? Thanks Chris

Up for sale! What are you planning on replacing her with?

[sbv]

The earthing cable straddles between one of the bolts holding the intercooler support to the manifold and behind the washer bottle to a bolt that sits between the two washer bottle bolts. If that makes sense. Exactly where you have circled.

Thanks so much mate and I shall let you know how I go putting it back together on Sunday/Monday

[sbv]

Good luck mate. Get that red rocket back on the road!

[AB501UT!0N]

So I have replaced the intake gaskets and repaired the black turbo intake pipe and it as good as new

 

Now to put it back together again but I still cannot find where the small grey plug goes???

 

Any pics Mr sbv   ?

[sbv]

It's just a single blue wire that comes out the back of the power steering pump. It's difficult to get a pic of without pulling things apart.

+1 on upgrading the grounding points! I ran 2 gauge for the main engine to chassis and chassis to battery grounds, then went around and undid all the smaller grounds for lights/ senors, cleaned them, removed the paint underneath them, screwed them back in. The car started quicker and starter motor was quieter, interior lighting and headlights never dimmed, windows went up and down faster.

 

Black intake piping looks the goods. Better than the chrome IMO

Thanks for the info mate I shall have a look after work tomorrow and I shall clean the pumo cause its rather dirty and that might make it more clear to see

I might have to do that but first I just need to get the car started... And then I can relax for a bit

And once its running back to normal then Subaru car meet here I come

[AB501UT!0N]

So I have put it back together and the only sign of life is beeping when the key is in the ignition

Can some please post a pic of how their cars battery is wired? Thanks Chris

Do you still have the brandt alarm system in that thing Chris?

If you do, its likely you need the master code to do a reset - if its not that, it may be a module of the alarm has failed, and needs replacing.

Mine needed both of those items at various points - if it needs a new module, better off with a new alarm...
 

I seem to remember mine made incessant beeping when key was in the on position, with not much else happening. I still had dash lights and things though. If you have nothing with key in the on position, somethings not right. Check all fuses in both the main fuse box under the bonnet and also the one above the accelerator pedal behind the panel.

Double check you have two connections on the starter motor.

I never had the brandt alarm system on the car cause it is an import and it has not security other than one key  

 

And I shall check the fuses tonight and double check the earthing aswell!

Both connections are on but I have no lights on the dash so something else before the starter motor is at play I think

[AB501UT!0N]

So I re did all the earthing connections and re did the battery wires as well and I then check and the main fuse was dead and lucky me I had a spare! And I turned the key and I have lights on the dash and the fuel pump is whiring and all the other good noises but I want to check everything before I turn it over and I will also top up the fluids as well So things are looking up
