it should be on the engine stabilizer bolt to the bulkhead just below master cylinders or failing that the center of the universe !

look down on the right inner wing at the front, mine on a 1980 mk4 is there between inner wing and clutch cover bolts

Should run alongside the top engine steady, on the left hand side of the engine

hi

theres not one underneath the master cylinder or near the engine stabaliser, the centre of the universe sounds right

hi

weve checked there and its not there, weve looked in the haynes manual and all the places it says in there it isnt on mine, so it looks like my mini doesnt have an earth

thanks for your help

Do we have 2 Mini Lukes ? 1 and 2 ?? just answer this one up

If its cranking over you do otherwise your choke cable is toasted, I have seen them also on the right hand side at the front. you could always fit a new one on the stabliser if your worried
