Maybe any fault codes stored but radio will be fine. You may have to reset the windows but not sure. |

I had to disconect my battery when fitting an eletronic brake controler and the problem that I had was that the reversing camera would not work and had to be reset which was a fairly complicated procedure ,took me about 3 days to work it out .Then recently I had to change the battery so I used my ctek battery charger on supply mode and kept the vechicle alive while changing battery, worked no worries.

I removed the two positive cables, left the connector block on the positive terminal, looped a cable tie around it and effed and jeffed until it came out! Fitting the new one was easier as it had a handle built into it. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Probably best not to have a fag when dealing with batteries. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

I would have taken the passenger seat out, took the bonnet off, and removed the windscreen, got in the car and pulled from above. More leverage |

There is a forum member who had a badly made earth lead which caused all kinds of problems with his FL2 for a couple of years. It could be that when you changed the battery you improved the earth on your car.
