So, Grounds..
I think it's time I investigated. My Jeep has started throwing codes for MAP out of range, O2 out of range. Also, different lights (especially ABS and Airbag) sometimes stay on after startup but go out on restart. The radio is also whining with engine revs.
I replaced the MAP sensor, to no effect.
So before I reload the parts cannon, I think grounds should be checked. They're mainly in the same places on RHD Jeeps but the battery ground looks quite sketchy, being just behind the radiator on quite a rusty panel rather than on the inner wing/fender.
To do this, I'm guessing I disconnect the battery, clean up the cable ends and bodywork to bright metal and then do it back up? Is silicon grease a good idea to stop bare metal corroding again?

Even when treated, I would recommend servicing/inspecting those important electrical connections twice a year (before and after winter).
