It's not my car (it's my mom's 5000S) - but have to drop by and replace the battery, and I don't have a lot of time to fuss with it when I get there, so any tricks or tools I should bring?
I know battery is under the back seat.

Many thanks.

 

noe no tricks

 

Yeah, no problem. Two screws just below front of bench, then lift bench.

 

Why are you taking the battery out. If you want to jump the car then there should be a jump terminal under the hood. If you are just looking to replace the battery the seat should just slide forward then up. Only other thing you might need is a 10mm wrench to disconnect the battery.

 

Cars been sitting for a while and I thought I might have a buyer for it. Didn't want to spend time charging - wanted to fire it up and let him drive it.
Coolant reseviour was empty - used to use some coolant when last it ran topped it up. Fired right up but now the oil light won't go out when rev'ing even though oil level is fine. Little puffs of smoke comming from head gasket area. So I'll probably junk this car. Too bad, beautiful interior.
