    Question Battery Terminals Replacement

    is it easy to replace them yourself?

    im kinda keen to do it myself since i cant move the car anyway.

    i found that both terminals are cracked! so i im thinkin could this be why my lights on the dash arent so bright? and why it cuts out and wont start again if i turn the car off after jump starting it? now that its cracked the car wont start?

    Have you checked the state of your exisitng battery?

    The Exide or Champion 55D23LMF from Battery Town or Repco is the exact replacement part for a facelift legnum VR-4 by the way.
