er.. Graham..: "Sometimes the old lever arm dampers have an advantage!".. might be in the wrong list.. or does your car have a really exotic way of getting the battery out??
Not at all.
The earlier cars, like mine, pre-telescopics at the rear, do not have that hoop that is in the way of extracting your battery.
All I have to do is clear the parcel shelf, remove it and I can then remove the battery, upwards, into the car.
Simples!!
