Seems a bit slow on these cold mornings... and can't afford to be stuck :(

Looking at the Yuasa Professional 157... as this seems to be what is fitted

Will i lose anything when i disconnect?

On my old Fiesta you lost the radio until a code was put in... but i don't recall having a code for my factory Clarion unit

Keep a battery charger connected to the terminals whilst you change the battery over. If your insure if the radio has a code this will prevent you loosing it.

Sorted a battery

Got an Exide Excel i think... quite a bit smaller than the standard one but seems to be fine

The Yuama one that was on as standard had no spec so its been very much on website and shop advice.

The Radio doesn't need a code B) but it has reset it to factory settings so has the annoying screensaver
