Hi there, pretty easy to fit by yourself, battery is behind the front passengers wheel so wheel needs to be removed first,then there is a few screws holding the battery cover in place remove that and the battery is right there, quite easy to change if I remember, however i can't remember what battery I bought when I had to replace mine but it came from Halfords and worked fine for the next year before I sold the Tuscan, not because I didn't like it but I gathered 11 points on my license.
Have a clean licence now and a Cerbera on the driveway!!

hi
you can get a trickle charger for halfords cost about £30 so easy to install. so if your changing the battery you may as well fit one of them save the battery ever going flat again.

good luck

I'd go for the Optima Red Top http://www.tayna.co.uk/batterygroups/23/072-Car-Ba...

Pretty expensive but apparently it makes a real difference. I ordered one but then discovered I could get my dead battery replaced under warranty as it was less than 2 years old. If it goes again I'll be getting one of these.

And as said before you must get a trickle charger or the battery will die again in the cold weather over the winter
