A pleasant battery change story
Discussion
Well, after many s time of letting the poor old battery run flat followed by a quick jump start, I deceided to give the old girl a present of a new battery. After hearing of the horror storries involved in changing the battery, or more correctly of re-installing the battery box, I approached with the beleif that I may be there all day pulling what little hair I had left out...
To my great surprise and glee, it took less than 15 mins and most of that time was re-routing the aux power cables and re-positionning the ECU and harness!
Two whitness marks on the floor, rip out some unrequired padding in the bottom of the box and all was back in...
Result!

Things that can go wrong #1:
The battery dies while the car is garaged. It's a single garage. You can't get the passenger door open and you can't get to the battery from the driver's side. What now?
You try to push the car backwards out of the garage, but there's a slight slope outside and as soon as the rear wheels reach it, the car trundles back unstoppably until - it hits your 7-series BMW and cracks a rear light...
