Ok, the diagnosis is that the car needs a new battery, that's now been purchased, and planning to fit it in a few days. I'm aware that the n/s front wheel needs to come off to gain better access to the panel behind it. So once the panel is off, and I've got the old battery out, is it just a case of a reversal of the removal process, and all will be well ?, or are there any re-set's I have to worry about, or electrical issues that I need to consider, or anything else to be aware of ?. Many thanks.

As above open doors, windows first.

Remove negative, then positive.

Check and clean/grease Anderson charge connector

On reconnection ; positives first then negative.
