I replaced the main lead from the battery - not the easiest job in the world but did it as it was 10 yrs old and they do corrode.

No pics afraid it was a special cable bought from the dealer it comes with new explosive charge and all brackets and fixings for the triangle battery alt starter 130 pounds but the car seems to be behaving better and before never managed more that 14v on 11D tool now showing 12.2 or 12.6 v |

Its connected to the SRS airbag system so that if you have a high impact it blows the positive terminal off the battery so stopping sparks |

It's not as exciting as it sounds, it is just a plunger that is triggered by a small charge that pops the plunger away from the socket it sits in disconnecting the main power supply but leaving the internal power connected so you can operate windows and central locking. I would imagine it is more of a click than an explosion but I still wouldn't test one if it was in my trouser pocket |
