maciejk · 25th June 2014, 15:10

can anyone identify what the wire that has been cut from the ground screw was for, under the passanger foot kick cover, it seems to be of orange colour. I don't know if I should put it back together or not.

There shouldn't be any coloured wires, only black wires in the earthing points.
Do you have the wire hanging there which you could reconnect?

You should have 3 or 4 connectors (eyelets) in that earthing header.

With it being at the top, and also a different eyelet, it's something aftermarket that's been installed and removed prior to sale.

Seems like the previous owner was just being lazy not un bolting it. As said, there wont be anything other then black wires bolted to the body earth points unless it's aftermarket.
