Thanks for the reply John. I can understand this procedure, but is there a terminal under the bonnet of the picasso that I can use instead of having to pull the front seat forward, lifting Teheran seat, removing the plastic battery cover, then connecting the leads. It's a total ball ache when you're late for work and have to do all this to get to the battery. The battery is ok at the minute but in future I'd rather have an easy option to start the car in a hurry.
