There is no spare wheel and in that space the battery is placed and fuel pump. Only reason why I put that there is so they are out the way. RAC is my best friend when my Tyres flat

Coming along really nicely Smile

So is that why a lot of manufacturers put the battery in the boot? Because there's no space with the biggest engine in up front so might as well do all models like that to make wiring simpler?

i will get pics tomorrow.
yea everything getting done sooner than expected so happy that way.
i have no idea why they put the battery in the boot maybe thats why but don't know to be honest.
i put in the boot because there is no room at the front and i could have put it at the size of the boot but just wanted it out the way so just put it where the spare wheel goes so its out the way with the fuel pump.
RAC and tyre weld will be my best friend when my tyre is punctured :lol:
