Hi all. So I replaced the vehicle battery today. The old one was the original factory battery. Got 5 years 92,000kms out of it. Pretty happy with that. However, it would have to be the most convoluted way to get to a car battery that I have ever seen. After removing the battery cover via the 4 plastic screw clips, you need to remove the strut brace. But before you can do that you need to remove the air intake snorkel. Once that’s out you then undo 4 bolts and 2 plastic clips to remove the strut brace. Then a random long bolt that attaches to a small bracket on the front corner on the battery needs to come out. Then you need to pull apart the several different wiring connections in order to clear the wires out of the way. Then throw your back out reaching to the rear of the engine bay to pull out the battery. I mean come on. Seriously LR? Anyway new battery is in now. Merry Christmas everyone!
