Where does the Griffith earth? Does it all come from the battery or is there still chassis connectors? I seem to have a problem with the gauges so want to clean the earth up to see if it makes any difference.

I also want to bleed the cooling system as the heater valve wasn’t set to hot when Webb’s fitted it so I think there is a air lock in the heaters, is this just a case of undoing the nut on top of the rad?

Look’s like I'm in for some fun tonight then! Or maybe just leave it for the weekend

Well took the top off the swirl tank and let the engine run, for about 10 mins the fans cut in and out etc took it for a run (roof off ) and it hovered around 80 and up to 90 on occasions but not to hot, I’ll still check out the earths as the gauges move when I turn the heater on. The bodge route sounds an easy option to see if it makes any difference.
