I'm going to pick up my car that's been sitting in Germany for almost 2 years now so presuming the battery is dead. Is there any point to bring my ctek and try reconditioning it or should I just aim to replace it and if so do you know exactly what tools I need? (to disconnect and then unscrew the holder)

Personally I would simply renew the Battery so no need to mess around with a CETEK . Firstly remove floor cover battery cover and storage tray . You will need a 10mm and a 13mm spanner . Loosen but dont remove the 13 mm Bolt on the Positive then loosen the 10mm nut on the Negative . I always remove the Negative Terminal first though some remove both together , remove the holder then remove the Battery .When reconnecting attach the Positive Terminal first .
