In the engine compartment of 1.8 petrol Freelander. The wiring harness earths through plastic blocks which have 6 spade termnals in them. These blocks built to the bulkhead and near the battery to the bodywork.
I am unable to get these blocks at the Landrover parts Department and can anyone tell me where I can get hold of them elsewhere.

Thanks

In the specialised autoshops you can buy strips that you can screw onto the body and attach the earth wires on it. When I used to drive my Opel Manta A before (in the '70's last century :D) I pulled a caravan, the connections for the towball were bad in the trunk so I took off all the wires and installed such a strip. Never had any problems anymore afterwards. Good luck.
