The standard earth has to put up with your new amps plus what it was originally designed for. Giving it a second earth eases off the strain on the standard earth Should help your dimming issueGary406 wrote:ye could do , what would it do that never heard of that being done before

Re: Newer Pics Of My 406 1.9 TD
Yeh but the earth cable going from the battery to the cars chassis is only designed to take the power from the standard car equiptment and isn't adiquite for the amps which is why it's dimmingGary406 wrote:no , my earth cables from the amps are half a meter long and bolted to the floor in the boot

Don't think there's much else you can do inside there once the doorcards are on.
That is unless you manage to find a set of seats like mine...

Easily. My leather wheel came from a coupe. Mine is slightly smaller though, so may be worth getting a wheel & airbag together.

Re: Newer Pics Of My 406 1.9 TD
You get D8 and D9 Coupe's as well; the exterior differences are much more subtle than they are on the saloon/estate though. A pre-1999 Coupe will be a D8.
The D8 Coupe wheel should fit on to a D8 saloon/estate, and vice versa, just as long as the horn trigger is on the same place on your car as it is on the donor (i.e. your horn is on the stalk, so must the horn be on the donor)
