Hello Guys,

I got a new metro last night (long story) the engine is missing the coil and i found this bit floating around:



I'm guessing it goes on the coil and is an earth or something?

Where does it attach to and what does it do?

Cheeers

It's to stop interference. connect to the negative on the coil and put the other end under the coil bracket bolt

Are you sure? Its a long time since I've done anything with these, but I always thought it was the positive side that needs tying down to earth through a capacitor to stop the whistling noise through the stereo?

Aren't coils normally handed. The positive has female spades and the negative male spades? So it should only fit on one side. My memory is not what it was though.

The terminals unscrew though. I've had to swap them round in the past.
