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

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

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

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

That would involve a whole lot of effort... :shock: I don't wnna have 2 jump it then take it all the way back there to be honest m8, I'll get it sorted myself. Been waitin long enuff for it as it is!! So that leaves me in the needing replacement advice again! Ne1 know how?

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
