1. Turn off any eletrical items in the car.
2. Slacken the 8mm Bolt on the positive (RED) Terminal. And lift it away from the battery.
3.Slacken the Negative terminal in the same way. And hook it out the way.
4. Then inbetween the battery and the black fuse box there will be a 13mm bolt holding the battery to the car. Undo this (it can be fiddly getting it out).
5. Lift the battery free.

As above! I did it a few months back, and i'm a know nothing, so if i can do it, anyone can!
The only tricky part is removing the fixing plate, you need very small hands to get down there and pull it out and to replace it. Other than that, its a pretty simple job...

the earth lead should be removed first and refitted last!

I second that. You should ALWAYS remove the negative/earth lead first, Positive last!

Positive then, the negative terminal = ''Shocking'' advice :rasp:
