battery brown bread
« on: 12 December 2010, 10:03 »
any picture guide's to getting the bloody thing off? carnt get passed the fuse box thingy on top of the battery,as the cute  little jacket its wrapped up in stops me seeing wot i need to see to shift,every car ive had it was a simple two connecter removale job,but this has stumped me for some reason!
that'll teach me not to use the thing for 10 f'ing days during a cold snap!!

sorry for being a numpty,ive looked in the maintenance part of the forum and used the search thing but i carnt seem to find a guide  :laugh:

Theres a 13mm bolt towards front at bottom of battery.. The fuse bit on top you swing up and then pull straight up.. Then either side there are 2 plastic clips push them in an pull up and off.. Once this is all done the wires should move enough out the way to pull your battery up..

whats the problem ?? if the battery is back on and the car is running whats up ?? the alarm drains a bit of battery but cold weather affects it the most..
