| Newbie Battery Question
As a first time Mini owner, I've been spending a bit of time just checking things under the hood. Air filter access, oil filter, coolant, etc. I found the battery under a small plastic cover, in what looks like the interior air plenum, on the RHS (looking forward). OK, but there is no way the battery will come out thru that little plastic cover and I can not see any obvious way to remove the battery (if or when the time comes). I know this sounds like a dumb question, but what needs to be removed in order to remove & replace the battery on these cars. (a 2012 Mini hardtop) |
