Earth cable

If anyone has a minute over the next few days can you post a link to earth cable for 1997 late 24v.There are different sizes that say fit the probe.

Thanks

Re: Frozen door lock / mechanism

WD40 will trash the locks. 'Traditional' WD40 not only removes the water, but also the grease which is used inside the lock as a lubricant, effectively opening it up seizures.

Re: Frozen door lock / mechanism

I swear by GT85..it is a water repellant.If you cannot turn your key if lock is frozen put key in and spray gt85 down the key.
I tried wd40 and it didnt work on this probe when I first got the car.
