Thanks for the info, did the obvious things first this morning.
This Chimaera is a '93 and has a glassfibre battery box sat on top of the relays/fuse board.
My old one, a '95 had a tray that was bolted through the floor.
The current car (no pun intended) has a live & earth from the battery to terminals through the glassfibre then cables to earth & starter. So an extra loint between battery and wherever. As suggested, the cables look woefully inadequate too to be honest, however, one of the battery to g/f box cables was not quite tight, the bolt through had been put through the wrong way. So redo, tighten up, tighten the two connections onto the solenoid and it would seem that one of my parents had a brother called Robert. So far.
Think this is going to be fun, the fans are on all the time as the switch has been bypassed.....
Wonder what else..

Will it be fine for a 500? I see you have a griff 500 so I'm guessing it must be.
Yep fine.

Just bought my third, looked at Porsche (911 Targa and 968 Cabrio) Yup, they get into your blood I'm afraid. Bit like Hepatitus sometimes .......

When I bought my second TVR last year, after a ten year break, I said exactly that, once you've had one it is hard to go without. (In my long lost youth (I'm 61 next week) my mother warned me against sex saying exactly that, once you've done it, you'll want to do it again....strange woman my mother was, in more ways than one...)
