Yes, but with a hole in the centre, because their is a centre spigot in the head.

DrRob, I removed negative first then the positive. When reinstalling I did positive first. Just remember to wait the 120secs after turning off ignition.

Thanks guys. Had a run into Exeter today ~80 mile round trip. Found I needed to redo the auto on all of the windows. Lost the trip settings on the dash as well as date/time but obviously they're trivial to reset.

Defiantly an AGM battery? Current: RR L322 2010

That's not an AGM, I'm running the same battery as it's what comes up in the list for the car from Halfords, and it has a 5 year guarantee.

You probably should research it a bit more but seem to recall something about that the agms charge at a higher voltage that can cause problems for older battery’s. May also invalidate your warranty. I would take it back to Halfords and demand the right battery for your vehicle. Current: RR L322 2010
