Hi. Would anyone be kind enough to give a complete DIY virgin a step by step on the battery change proceedure, specifically on how you can prevent messing up radio codes, ecu codes (?) and alarm issues. Plenty of sites out there on which terminal to disconnect first etc - just keen to get some confidence on the right proceedure for this vehicle. One site mentioned a "Draper Car Computer Memory Saver" ( http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=16089&MAN=Draper-Car-Computer-Memory-Saver - http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=16089&MAN=Drape r-Car-Computer-Memory-Saver )? Don't know if this is the answer. Grateful for pointers. Just trying to save some labour and learn how to do what should be a simple task. Many thanks in advance! Gareth |
