Hi all,
The time has come to replace the battery in the Mondeo
given that it is now more than 4 years old, of which 2+ years has been with the car in regular use, so on the basis of other posts replacement might be wise to avoid the problems other owners have experienced with batteries younger or approaching this age.
So a couple of questions:
1. Has anyone found a retailer in Eastern Melbourne who sells a DIN75LMF battery at a reasonable cost. The lowest I have found is in the $190 region but there might be something better.
2. Does anyone know how to do the changeover safely? The manual for the car warns about disconnecting the battery, and other posts here have told about drama with the imobiliser activating when the battery is problematic/disconnected.
I suspect that using a fully charged emergency boost pack and connecting this before disconnecting the main battery might be the way to go, but guidance from anyone who knows the method would be welcome.
TIA for any responses.
Cheers
