The suspension compressor is mounted in the spare wheel well with the battery, when I had a flat battery last October the LR Assist tech that came out was keen to know if he could get access to the jump start pins under the bonnet as that was much easier than trying to get at the battery in the boot as the compressor has to be removed (or maybe just the air storage tank) but it isn’t straight forward 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Managed to remove it, brute force. Held on with 2 screws & 2 locating tabs on right hand side which took a fair bit of force to slide out. Was concerned about that "dome". The wires & tubing do go into it. New battery ordered, then fun & games putting it all back together. Can't wait. Better be the battery, but sure it is, just checked after about 5 hrs on ctek its showing 11.9volts. Ordered from Euro Car Parts, if ordered by 3pm its same day delivery. Order went through with 2 mins to spare. Fingers crossed

Battery delivered at 4.30, ordered at 2.58. They said if ordered by 3pm it was same day delivery. I thought it was cutting it a bit fine so would not be concerned if it was next day. Not to be, their guy phoned me about 3.30pm & asked when I would be available for delivery, I said I would be in all day so just arrange it to suit yourselves. Fantastic service, first time I have used them, but would not hesitate to use them again The new battery weighs a ton

Put the In Control Remote security into “service” mode before disconnecting the battery if you don’t want a phone call to say your car has lost communication with the control centre! Cannot remember how to do it but it is in the owner’s manual. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Check your Auto Stop/Start battery is fully charged and not dead too - my experience was that was what was giving me Low Battery - Start Engine warnings on the dash. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Update to this saga. Left replying for a couple of weeks in case I was tempting fate. Disco Mikey told me the BMS should be reset after a battery change so I thought that I would go to see him before replacing the secondary battery. The car was left sitting for a few days as I had other things on, then I took it out & low & behold the stop/start has started working, no low battery warning, seems fine. Maybe it resets itself after a period of time (who knows, bring back the days of points, plugs, timing & carbs when you were always able to get your car going)
