2007 XK battery replacement
I used to think I was a decent mechanic until I tried to remove the battery in my XK. I disconnected the negative cable, then the positive cable, and looked for the battery holddown. There seem to be two: one on the side of the battery, and one at the end of the battery. The one on the side of the battery is attached with 2 torx bolts. The one on the end of the battery has two nuts; the positive battery cable is secured to it.
My question: Are these the battery hold downs? O know this sounds like a stupid question, but I don't want to remove something that shouldn't be removed. |

FYI Jaguar recommends an Interstate replacement BUT it is sealed (no top up) and is made in CZ............... very disappointing . Can't believe that Interstate can ship from CZ; not mentioned on there online catalog!
No trick to remove, just heavy.......... TTFN, Adrian |
