Changing battery advice 146
My 146 1.6 Junior is over 7 years old and the battery now needs to be
changed. Is there anything that I need to know in doing this job so that everything continues to work after the battery change ? In particular how can I be sure the alarm and the remote locking will continue to work if the electrical supply is interrupted ? The radio has a reset button which needs to be used once the new battery is installed and I have instructions for this. Any helpful advice gratefully received with thanks in advance. John Chapman |

You can't, but given the age of the vehicle, it seems unlikely to be an issue. If you're really worried, get one of those little jumper packs with a cigar lighter connector which will keep things running while the battery is changed. One good tip (though slightly counter intuitive) is that when messing with negative earth vehicles, disconnect the negative first and reconnect it last.

No temporary supply was available but as soon as the new battery had been connected I found that the radio, alarm and remote locking all worked perfectly although the electrical supply had been interrupted for a short period. Many thanks for advice. John Chapman |
