Battery change
Just a quick one.
Planning on changing my battery this aftrrnoon.
Do I need to do anything special or is it just a case of changing it over... I know it sounds silly but I keep reading how battery/voltage sensitive these cars are.
Also, will the radio need a code when I put the new battery on as I'm not 100% sure if I have one, I may have just can't be sure and I'm not home at the moment.
Many thanks.

Cheers guys. All done.
I had an Audi A6 which had a slimmer sized battery but it was under the boot floor, I guess I never realised how high the wings are on a D3 even in access height.
Turning over a bit quicker now which is reassuring as been a bit lazy this past week.New D3 Owner.. every day it starts is a bonus but any bongs or beeps are heart-stopping.
