Rat Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I bought a new battery for my 1999 Xsara VTR from Halfords today but I can't seem to fit it to the car. On the existing battery there are plastic tops that screw on to the battery positive and negative feeds but on the new battery there are no grooves for the plastic tops to screw on to. Have I got the wrong battery and if so, how do I go about getting the right one? The one I bought is the one that Halfords recommended to me..... Quote
Guest rowls Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 If you take the connectors off the battery you'll probably find that its a threaded sleeve which fits over the battery terminal and the connector tightens down onto this sleeve. Thats what the saxos had on them. Quote
Rat Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 Thanks for the reply. I've taken the car to the garage for them to replace the battery for me as I'm not that handy and I will take the battery back to Halfords. hopefully they'll give me my money back! Quote
