Let's see how to change the battery of the Ford Transit MK8. The battery is located under the driver's seat: pull the side lever to unlock the slide, slide the seat all the way back, and lean the backrest against the passenger seat to have maximum space.

Unscrew the two 10 mm bolts that secure the plastic cover around the base of the seat.

Pull it out towards the outside of the cabin. Disconnect the negative battery cable first, then the positive.

Remove the securing bar; to extract the battery from the plastic tray, insert a spanner or flat screwdriver under the edge of the tray and gently lever upwards to lift the battery. Clean the terminals if they are corroded, insert the new battery, secure it with the bar, reconnect in reverse order: positive first and negative, and reposition the black plastic cover.

Return the seat to its original position and start the vehicle to check its operation.
