Now's there a job and a half. The best part of 3 hours for me under the car wrestling it out and the wrestling the new one in. It's a good job you don't need to do that very often !!

3 hours!!!!!!!! what were you doing for the other two and a half!!!!!!!!
Found it looks alot harder than it really is. Also helps if you have vehicle lifts. if you did it using a jack then fair play it must have been a b***ard!

I don't know anyone who has a car lift in their garage. With the car up on a trolley jack ( 2, just in case ) pushing a bloody heavy battery though the hole whilst laying on your back is not that easy. And, when you drop the spanner that you're using to get the terminals off and so you have to removed the wheel arch cover to get it back all adds time.

Well done for doing that..remember it was not that easy to do...I had an extra set of hands to help with mine ( well actually He did most of the work!! )
Nice to see some noble owners getting their hands dirty.
