The pic is fine. So can you move with your hand either cables?
And all you did was simply disconnect the cable from the battery when you did the wheel?
You might want to get a new plastic cover for your positive terminal as if you're running marcs battery cover you dont want the battery shorting. Not sure on your other problems though, not an immobiliser problem is it? The lights going out yeah?
Check the small low tension 12v exciter wire connection to the alternator.Hasnt been driven since Sunday, when all was fine. Just went to go to the gym, key in, no lights on dash, nothing. Key out, key back in, and yay it was turning over trying to start but it would just stop trying, not like it was struggling, it would just stop turning over suddenly. Looked at battery wiring, nothing obvious, kept on trying and it would just turn over then stop, then suddenly it started. Any ideas?
Don`t break down with a car full of tools as RAC wont recover you.Won't be the cover. Try what Steve suggests. I've had this before and was the alternator wire. Decided to pack up on the way back from a track day in the rain in the winter with four people in the car. And on a motorway. That was a joy :/
Looks like you need to loosen the clamp (8mm), clean it up and maybe wire brush it or some fine paper, then whack the connection down onto the terminal further, rubber mallet perhaps. This should allow you to tighten it better on the clamp. The terminal should be higher than the clamp imo
Have you done this
Wasn't saying it was the cover, was just saying eliminate the risk of it ever shorting.Won't be the cover. Try what Steve suggests. I've had this before and was the alternator wire.

Immobiliser imho, lights not going out by the looks of it?
You hadn't used a code reader had you? I know it's weird, but when the code readers plugged in and i remove it, often the car wont fire up straight away. Have to wait a little while until it sorts itself out. It's not coincidental as it happened a few times. I have no idea otherwise, i'm not massively clued up on immobiliser issues i'm afraid mate. You got a spare key? Try that if the problem persists.

Just seen the videos...
My bet would now be the fusebox in the engine bay. Check the condition of it inside and the fuses/relay pins themselves. I knew a car where wobbling one fuse would cause this due to corroded connections!
