Hi all,

Just looking over a few things and noticed the my positive battery cable has an additional thick brown cable running off it? Runs out box across chassis to driver box and secures inside. What's that?

Well, nice pics, could be anything but you have forgotten to tell us what vehicle year / type you have and what if any non standard extras fitted that may need the extra cable.

It can't be your last picture as that suggests you live cable goes straight to earth.

It's a Defender, that's for sure. I will guess at a TD5.

Defo a tracker, I would cut al the wires off to be sure, and add a tin foil hat just to be sure.

If you are changing it for no reason whatsoever then maybe consider buying that, maybe.
