You can only see "benefits" from an earth kit if you have poor earthing in he first place. Ad all you will gain is what is being lost through your old existing earth straps. If you spent some time going through you current earth straps and just sanding the ends/replacing you'd see the same "benefit". Earth straps are money for old rope imo, and they just make the engine bay look bling and over-complicated imo!

earthing kits are a waste of time and money

I removed the aircon pump belt on my r33 and had no issues, I would say your issues are coincidental, and yeah, your battery needs conditioning or replacing

What is the service life of brake fluid? That is a question for which there is no simple answer. But it doesn't last forever.

Most motorists don't know that brake fluid wears out over time. They assume it is a lifetime fluid that never needs to be changed, so brake fluid is probably the most neglected fluid in vehicles today.

As brake fluid ages, the corrosion-inhibiting additives in it break down. The earliest signs of chemical decomposition can often be detected within a year or so, or after 10,000 to 12,000 miles of normal driving. Hard use that elevates brake temperatures and pressures can accelerate the rate at which the fluid additives break down even more.

As time goes on, heat and chemical activity continue to erode the fluid's ability to prevent corrosion. Oxidation starts to eat away at metal surfaces creating dissolved acids and sludge that are carried with the fluid as it surges back and forth with every application of the brakes. Some of these contaminants are abr ...
