Battery Replacement

[gooner_47]

Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to replace the battery because it's pretty crap to be honest! :lol: (bought the car used and it's been sitting around for a long time).But I can't get the battery out, I can undo the bolt fine at the bottom left of the battery but there's no room to pull it out?! :?

Maybe someone could scan me a the relevant page of the Haynes manual or something, ne help would be great - tnx!

Heres what i put in your other post :D

Why didnt you just take it back to where you got it from and get them to sort it.....

Its there problem not yours as its still under warenty - they would have changed the battery for free too :D

......
You then said it was bought used!!!

SO.... im sure they will still sort it for you :D

managed to get it out in the end... really tricky tho, itz a tight fit. Who woulda thought it'd b so difficult to just replace a battery of all thingz :roll:

Yer it's a well tight fit aint it! They probs do that so you have to take it into vaux to do it then they charge you for doing it!

:lol: wouldn't b suprised m8! but now i've got that sorted i need 2 get the radio fixed as well, so it looks like a trip 2 vaux after all
