This can be a pain, getting a good connection. Any thoughts TIA.


I've always done the former, except where the battery is inaccessible,
then the latter. IMNHO, it makes little or no difference.


With mine the battery is in the boot under the spare tyre, so for jump
starting they provide a +ve terminal behind a flap under the bonnet,
there is also an arrow pointing at a nearby bolt in the chassis for the -ve.
