On my 16v I think there is a strap from the negative battery post to the =
battery tray, then another from the tray to the transmission, on one of =
the top mounting bolts.

I know this may not be your problem, but I had some problems with my =
starter and I started thinking it was either the battery or the ground =
straps.. Eventually, I narrowed my problem to timing issues.

I realise this is incredibly lazy but im going to ask anyway
My starter is turning real slow and the battery is good so its either =
a dieing starter or poor earth. Its started happening in about the last =
3 weeks.
So the question is
Where should the earth straps be in the engine bay on a 8v?
I would look now but a) its dark outside b) the missus is about 10 =
miles away in the car and c) i cant find my Bentley since i moved house =
last month
