Replacing the Battery in a Mini Countryman

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Battery

First, open the bonnet of your Mini. Near the windscreen wipers, on the left, you will find a cover. Remove the cover and the battery will be visible. To the left of the battery, there are two bolts securing the cover, which you need to unscrew. Also, remove the seal that runs along the cover as needed. Now, remove the wiper on the battery side by taking off the cover that hides the bolt to be unscrewed. Once unscrewed, temporarily close the bonnet and remove the wiper. Open the bonnet again, and now you can remove the battery cover by prying on the three clips underneath until you hear clicks. Once removed, you can access the battery and start unscrewing the terminal bolts, negative and positive. Now, using an extension, unscrew the bolt of the clamp at the base of the battery. You can now remove the old battery and replace it with the new one. Once the new battery is positioned, replace the clamp and reconnect the terminals. Once the terminals are tightened, replace the cover by pushing down and giving it a few taps until it clicks into place, screw the two bolts on the left back in, and insert the seal into the cover. You can reassemble the wiper and put the cover back over the battery, and the job is complete!

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
