no you see that's the improvement in quality control, on an early D2 - most of those would have rusted off by the time you took that pic.... 2007 TDV6 HSE 'Silver Lady'. With 'free' privacy glass LOL.

Look now, two out of three earth lugs isn't that bad, they got 66% right so they past the test I would have kicked up a fusss if they only got 33%.
If you want to see another wiring nightmare, have a look under your seats. Pull off the front plastic cover first though. I did last night looking for reasons for my SRS Warning light fault.

I thought one of the big advantages of running data through the car was to use the same conductor for multi-purposes and simplify the wiring looms. But the harnesses and fuse boxes on the D3 rival an early Jumbo jet. No wonder the car weighs so much, and the price of copper is so high......the spirit of the Prince of Darkness lives on!Ex Defender 110 200Tdi owner.
