Hi just moved to a cerb from a caterham.

Didnt realise what a bl**dy big car it was.

Quick question. i have a battery conditioner with two crocodile clips. I can see the positive terminal clearly on the battery but the -ve seems hidden under a fibreglass thingy.

where should i attach the crocodile clip ?

Anywhere on the engine or chassis will work.

Anything that looks like its attached to the frame, or the engine (it has an earthing strap). I put mine on the airbox bracket.

Yes, I too use the airbox bracket but only because I haven't had chance to fit the proper plug that came with the Accumate.

I got fed up keep lifting my bonnet to plug in my Accumate. Also, kept forgetting to lock the bonnet catch. Pretty scary to have your bonnet start to lift on a dual carriageway!!

So........

I fitted an external socket, read my post on this old thread :-

Yep, what they say. I use the fuel rail for the -ve. Works fine.
