Hi there,
just a quick question, I want to replace the battery as it only has 50 % capacity (12.2 volts).

Can I just take the old one out and then put the new one in or, do I need to take other precautions???

Many thanks in advance

You may need to reset the windows and sun roof if you have one. Search on here will show you what to do or read the manual.

Is the terrain response module your only fault? Have you started a new thread with all the details on, just done a quick search so apologies if you have, but some of the more knowledgeable people on here may not look every day and if you have used other threads, such as 'battery change' they may not look at it. Just a thought?

I am always careful to keep the keys in my pocket when I change a battery, some cars (like the FL1) lock all the doors when the new battery is connected. Can be embarrassing. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I've never come across a FL1 locking all it's doors when a new battery is connected. The tailgate window will drop and need to go fully up to recal it but that's the worst that will happen. Hippo's videos - Honorary Tratterer

Well it happened to me on my 04 reg auto FL1, my battery failed when it was parked at a friend's house. We went off to Halfords and got a battery, fitted it and everything locked up. It wasn't far so I walked home and got the spare key. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
