Hi again - i have an electrical earth strap? that i'm sure went between the engine or bell housing to the chassis somewhere at the rear of the engine.
Its about 150mm long with a crimped eyelet at one end and the same at the other end but with a bent tag.Hope the pic uploads!
Also should i be concerned about being able to plug the wires either way round to connectors coming out of the gearbox back-up sensor?
This is the same fo two other wires above the gearbox.Mazda seem to polarize most of their connectors to ensure correct re-fitment!
Been looking at some diagrams to no avail so far. :cry:

that earth strap is pretty important goes from the side if the head to the chassis rail by the fire wall on the passenger side
