battery terminals on Citroes Xsara

[virgil]

Trying to chage the battery on a friends Citroen Xsara, but the terminals look like they 'screw on' rather than bolt on. One plastic red terminal and one black. The only issue is we can't 'undo' them and they are plastic and look like breaking if we force them. First time i've tried to change the battery on a 'frenchie', so please HELP!!!!

Merci,

Vurgeel.

Should just be able to twist them undone, once off you will need to pull off the clamp that sits over the terminals that they screw onto.

[motorwise]

these are notoriously unreliable so it might be worth swapping them for more conventional terminals while it's apart

Cheers guys.
