Battery - removal and refitting
Note: Refer to the precautions at the end of Section 1 before proceeding.
Removal
1 The battery is located on the left-hand side
of the engine compartment on a bulkhead
platform.
2 Disconnect the leads at the negative (earth) terminal by undoing the retaining nut and removing the bolt. Disconnect the positive terminal leads in the same way.
3 Undo the bolts securing the two battery clamps and remove the clamps.
4 Lift the battery from its location, keeping it in an upright position to avoid spilling electrolyte on the paintwork.
Refitting
5 Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal.
Smear petroleum jelly on the terminals when refitting and always connect the positive lead first and the negative lead last.
