Noticed a few loose fittings in the trunk.



Appears there was a battery tender installed prior....but no draft vent on this battery seller had installed.

Shipping charging. First photo has nothing to do with prior owners.

AGM battery ? Most AGM ‘s don’t have a visible vent

The female Lucar connector in phot 1 is not original Where does its wire go to?

The second phot is of the connector for the Transit Relay. That relay was removed by the dealer prior to original purchase and the connector should now be ignored.

The third phot is of an Accessory Connector. This will provide power to any extra device you may wish to fit. The wires to it should be a Black wire for a ground connection, a Brown/Green wire for a permanent battery 12 v supply and a White/Red for an ignition switched 12v supply, though earlier X100s had different colours

The battery looks like an old-fashioned type with individual cell plugs to enable it to be kept topped up with distilled water.

My car also has the female Lucar connector. I think it is original.

I'm sorry, the second and third are the same item, just different angles.
