start the 'yank' on the bit nearest the seats then work your way along to the tailgate... ... - .- -.

Ummmm, I do mine the other way, it’s easy to get your fingers up inside that vent/grille thingy & pull down & out, there are 3 clips along the top edge, see WM manual:

OT warning: old wartime joke about British girls wearing American knickers: one Yank and they’re off!

I wish I had bought an Exide battery - I bought a Bosch battery for my auxiliary battery, as it has a longer warranty, but the breather pipe location interferes with the bracket, which is really annoying. |

When I replaced my battery. I drilled a hole in the clamp bar. Shown on page 4 of this thread.

So, some models have a capacitor instead of a 2nd battery?

I pulled the panel. Clearly it had never been removed because, damn, those clips were tight! Really had to yank it.

I think my battery or batteries are on their way out. On some brand of cars with dual batteries, they should be removed and replaced in a particular order, is that not the case with the L405?

I was not aware of any articular being required when I replaced both of mine. I did them both at the same time and if I remember correctly I did the RHS one first and the one under the spare wheel second. Connected all up and told car about new batteries and all was good.
