Video tutorial
If your vehicle remains inactive for an extended period (as it was during the lockdown), to keep the battery of your Mini efficient, it is recommended - even if you keep it in the garage - to always keep it closed. Lock it with the remote even if it is in a safe place, as leaving it open may lead to parasitic drain phenomena that you may not be aware of, which negatively affect the battery. It is also advisable to use a battery maintainer, a device that costs less than £30 - available on Amazon - and can be very useful in such circumstances. Just connect it to the battery terminals and you're good to go.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow to Extract the Spare Wheel from a Mercedes Vito
The spare wheel of a Mercedes Vito is located underneath the vehicle, just below the rear boot. This video demonstrates how to extract the wheel from its compartment. First, open the boot and locate the tools provided with the vehicle to release the wheel; these can be found in a compartment on the right side of the boot. As shown in the video, use the supplied screwdriver to remove the cover cap from the hole where you will insert the socket spanner; this hole is located beneath the rubber seal above the rear bumper. Insert the spanner and attach the extension to allow you to turn it and lower the wheel from under the floor. Finally, detach the pin that allowed the wheel to lower and proceed to extract it from under the vehicle. by ScegliAuto More videos
