Cheers mate but I've figured it out! The earth leads to the gearbox and starter motor. Turns out it may be faulty and probably needs changing. And it could be the junction box, which is where the earth is connected to. I may as well just change both and see if that does the trick. Thanks for the help. How long you had your seat?

I am having issues with my earth cable and I need to remove it to check for further issues. Any ideas of how to take it out? Cheers

Thanks for that! I will give that a try and see what happens. Fingers crossed! Really helpful stuff there. Keep the suggestions and ideas coming through just in case !

I've realised the fault involves the earth cable but I have no clue how to check that the cable is fine. My question is how to remove it and how to check if there is definately a fault with this cable.

I know which cable is. If you open the fuse box that sits on top of the battery. There is a black earth cable attached. This then leads into the engine bay some where. Now when I move this cable about or press on it slightly, the engine just cuts out. It happens from time to time. For example, I didnt use the the car on friday at all. Yesterday I tried starting it and it wouldn't even tick over.

Yeah loving the colour! Thanks for the welcoming. Thanks for the advice. Just a few questions. Wear does the Earth cable lead to? How do I go about cleaning the earth cable?

Posted Today, 07:55 PM I've had a 1.0 Lupo for a few months now and for the past few weeks I've had the battery draining from time to time. I have a sub but it's defo not draining the battery. I checked all the fuses and nothing has been blown. I jump started it and when I took off the leads and closed the plastic lid on the fuse box, the engine cut out :S. I looked into the problem a few days later and found that the earth cable is cutting out the engine if I press on it. Anyone had any similar issues? Help a brother out lol. Cheers
