Got a flat battery cos my misses left the passenger door open-doh..!
Anyway.All the manual says is that the battery is in the passenger footwell.I removed the carpet and all I can see is a bank of fuses and a grp panel vertical to the floor.It looks abit fiddly to remove this.Is the battery behind it..?

Any tips welcome..!

Cheers

I'm confused, if you remove the panel at the end of the footwell you should be looking at a battery with a tangle of wires and an ECU lying on top of it. This can be carefully moved out of the way to get to the battery. If you have to remove it there are 2 bolts or nuts under the car that hold it down, so you'll have to take them off

The battery sits in a box bolted through the floor, lie down on the floor, unscrew and slide box foward, hey presto.

Unlike working on a Griff battery in a small garage. I had to have the radio in the garage on extra loud to mask the swearing! Get a remote charging connector: worth their weight in gold.
