1hr 50, he gave himself another 5 min break towards end.

probably took an hour at least to pick the thing up []

The old battery was obviously the wrong one for the car. It was a 44 Ah one and about 4 inches smaller in length. This new Bosch one is meant for the car (list on the side of make/models).

Took 2 hours as I had to remove the air intake piping and a wire clamp linked to battery tray. It was basically because the new battery is much bigger (largest size that would fit the tray) than old (which was the "wrong" one anyway!). Most of the time was for putting the air intake pipes and airbox back on. The hose clips that Fiat use as standard are crap, so I replaced them with proper screw types.

Also found a connection less cable at the "back" near the fuse box. Everything works fine though, so I'll post about that another time.

Was a big arse for a simple task, but it's done now
