Earth wiring:

All earths wired to a body bolt or via bullet connectors are circled in red, plus the gearbox earth not shown. There are also three sealed junctions circled in blue, these rarely give problems. The remainder are picked up from the physical mounting of the component. Note that front parking/indicator light units in rubber bumpers have a wired earth going back to the headlamp bullet connector and are not as shown in the diagrams:
