Help Battery removal - Dont understand the WIKI


The title says it all. I've printed off the WIKI but dint understand the following:
1. Take apart the multi plug - Is that the yellow thing in the attached photo?
2. Unclip the cover and undo and remove the nut for the battery disconnect system - Is that the black thing with the red cable coming out of it in the attached photo? Mine has a cable tie around the black plastic thingy. Am I meant to cut the cable tie and pry open the black plastic cover?

It's all Censored greek to me.
I have the battery ready to fit. Can someone give me instructions please.
You can take the p**s later.

battery dis-connection procedure from wiki

DISCONNECTION:

Turn off the ignition, and remove the key. (Keep the key close by you though, as the alarm may go off and you need to disable it)
Ensure the alarm is disabled.
Wait at least 2 minutes ( I gave it 5) for car systems to shut down such as the SatNav and Fuel Guage
Yes, now you can lift the bonnet and disconnect the Earth terminal (brown lead)
Now wait 10 minutes ( I gave it 20) for the SRS system to shut down. This is important because of what is to follow!
You have a positive lead running to a fitting on the bulkhead in front of the battery, this fitting is used for connecting jump leads. Undo the nut (13mm) at the back, and release the cable, placing out of the way.
Now unclip the cover for the battery terminal nut and undo the nut until loose.
Now unclip and take apart the multiplug which runs to the positive connector.
Now unclip the cover and undo and remove the nut for the battery disconnect system. Lift off the cable and set aside. (This is why item 5 is important, as this thing is designed to explode and break the battery connection in the event of a crash, so it works alongside the SRS)
OK, now you can wiggle and remove the positive connector from the battery terminal.
Battery disconnected!



It is a two stager!

Disconnect negative terminal first before doing anything else (after waiting for systems to die)

Yes, disconnect the yellow multiplug

Yes, undo the battery terminal nut until loose

Yes, unclip the red cover and undo the nut on the battery diconnect thingy. Remove cable then release terminal from battery.

As long as you allow all the computers to die before disconnecting things, you can't really go wrong.

Thumbs Up .

Thanks Joe, I'm following the WIKI to the letter I was not sure if the multi plug was the yellow one or that other black thing in the photo.
Now that I understand that the battery disconnect system is that black plastic thingy it all makes sense.
Thank you for the reply.

Don't forget to put the Bonnet in 'Sevice mode' first or you'll never get it out. Regards

FWIW, I unlock the car, don't put key in ignition. pop the bonnet, put bonnet in service mode, disconnect -ve, disconnect +ve - haul the thing out after undoing what you need to. Put new one back in reconnect +ve then -ve , start the car and do the steering lock to lock a few times to reset the steering angle sensor.


I've done it a few times without problem and I'm no mechanic Very Happy Geoff

One last question chaps. One piece of WIKI says attach the +VE to the bulkhead stud first and then to the battery terminal.
Another WIKI guide states the opposite. Attach lead to +VE battery terminal and then to the bulkhead.
Which is correct or does it not matter?

I hate changing batteries Big Cry Travelling around in circles again.
