Battery replacement for the Mini

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Battery

If the battery of the Mini is discharged and does not hold up to subsequent attempts to recharge it, the only option left is to replace it with a new one. We open the trunk hood, remove the floor panel and we will have access to the battery compartment, unscrew the fixing bracket screws, unscrew the negative pole clamp and then the positive one, remove the spacer that locks the battery and we can thus remove it from its seat using the appropriate handle. We place the new battery, put the spacer back in place, tighten the positive pole clamp and then the negative one and finally fix the bracket.

How to Remove the Knobs from a Fiat Panda

Let’s see in this simple video how to remove the air conditioning knobs from the Panda. Align all the knobs in one direction to make reassembly easier. Grip the plastic cover from both ends as shown in the video, pull until you hear a click, then pull to release the first knob. When you return the trim to its housing, you will see that the knob remains outside; now you can remove it. Repeat the same procedure for the second knob. Once you have finished removing all the knobs, perform the appropriate maintenance and reassemble everything.
