Electrical is probably the grounds on the transmission as it has been moved, they are perhaps dirty or most likely loose possibly. NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping for. Also got fingers crossed that they haven’t cut something vital off! Time will tell. Shocked

With any luck it will be, what can happen is they put everything back finger tight but not tightened up, in those few minutes they can be forgotten and left.
I had the rear loom ground (on the side of the box) which has two smaller ground eyes for each side on it, finger tight that was all.
Which was causing issues.

There is the main battery negative as well of course. Thumbs Up NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Well, curiosity got the better of me so went down and had a look.

I guess that air gap isn’t going to help! Finger tight would make sense as well, as it was fine for a little while so guessing it worked loose and dropped out. Thanks for the pointer!

No problem, put a drip or two of Loctite 222 on the threads when you refit.

Don’t use any other type, but that one is low torque strength so will keep it from vibrating loose again but equally safe to remove.
For now though you can put any fitting bolt in just to use it for now. Thumbs Up NEVER SURRENDER! ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
