remove Ford Transit battery

Postby amazin » Sun May 24, 2015 11:02 pm

When I turn the key, no response at all. My dealer told.me the battery's flat. Can someone please tell me how I can remove the battery from under the driver's seat?

my van is T260 56 plate.

Or post me a link with the relevent information. Thanks.

I did search on the internet but can't understand the jargons.

Unless you have a camper like mine, then you have to remove the swivel seat by undoing loads of little bolts and lift the bloody seat out, the seats are heavy!

The seats simply slide forward and back, I don't think its swival.

How many batteries are there btw? I'm assuming just one under the driver's seat?
