Yeah, according to vin number and plate in engine compartment, it should be white. But repainted cars are quite common in Europe, specially offroad cars and those who catch rust sooner than others. I will inspect it when i finally get to pick it up, in july.

Hey guys, anyone can help me with those two cables (red and white), connected to battery + terminal with a green plug:

Something is stealing power from the battery and it is something connected to one of those two cables, so I wonder if anyone could tell me, what is connected to those two?

Just looking at that I have no idea. Have you traced it to any part of the engine or maybe into a harness going to the cab?

I ask because I'm not sure where they go. They go together into a thick cable loom, and I ask on the forum to not rip those open just to find where it goes ;-) But one thing is for sure - You cannot start the the engine with those two disconnected.

I had a quick look at the manuals you can download from this forum. It shows the white wire going to the alternator. I couldn't see a red wire from the fusible link. Has it got a white stripe on it? It is quite common for a diode in the alternator to fail and cause a drain on the battery.

One of the first things I did was to completely disconnect both the alternator and the starter, and the power leak was still there with those both disconected - that said, if the white cable goes to the alternator, then I need to find where the red one goes ;-) I suspect it has something to do with ignition - maybe some sort of start relay or something...

If it has a trailer socket, check if someone has wired power through to it. I've had another look, but I've probably missed the Red only wire. Maybe someone with better eyes and knowledge can help you. Unplug the connector and alternator. Get someone to bridge a wire from the battery side to the red terminal, on and off, while you listen for any relays clicking on and off in the cab.
