Err exactly what it says. Earth that pin? Wire from that pin to a chassis earth somewhere.

You probably already know this, but, to ground out the pin, you plug in a wire into the pin & connect the other end to any bare metal part of the chassis..
You can do it without 2 people.. plug one end of the wire into the pin, & hook the other end over any piece of bare metal .. you don't need to hold it there..
solder one end up to an alligator clip if it helps

Finally come up with one man's job because there is a small hole I can stable the wire..
The Engine light keep blinking.
But the Neutral transmission light have 2 long shot and 2 short shot..
Check with the workshop manual, does not come up with anything.
Anyone come up with this before?
Thanks in advance

2 long, 2 short sounds like "22" to me

If it were the engine light making the 22 signal it would be, but its the tip light thats doing it. Will have to look up what 22 is for the tip box....I'd go onto the pommy site, but my account has expired.

No offence but if you done know how to ground a wire wouldnt it be pointless diagnosing a problem as it would be way more difficult to fix????????

I was not use the correct cable first time. That is why It was not able to put the wire in..
I found a tv cable, then it is quite easy
