No, it wasn't, but the car started with jump leads. Since the 'incident', the car won't start with either battery, even with jump leads.

I've only just seen your post. That's a very informative video, thanks for posting it

I've tried to jump start it with both the new and old battery. No cranking happens, just the click when I turn the ignition on.

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

Hello John, Yes, there is a fuse box next to the battery. See pic. Do I check check the small rectangular ones with a multimeter and the square purple ones by eye? Do I need to check the black square ones at the back? Thanks

Can you explain how to do that please? I can get hold of a multimeter.

It's a 2010 Mazda 2

Fitted a new battery the wrong way round for a second. Realised my mistake and installed it correctly. Now the car won't start or turn over, it just clicks when I turn the key. The lights, fan etc are working. Is there a step-by-step process I can follow to find out what damage I've done and...

I want to fill the gap because it's there and I've convinced myself there's a smell coming from the gap. I'll follow your advice and get some duct tape. Thanks for the help

Perfect explanation, thanks

I dont have the facilities to be able to make timber cleats. Would fixing a piece of cls to the block then attaching the shelf to that be a suitable solution?

It's breeze block, ot thermalite. The shelves are more like a cupboard without a back. It's one unit kind of thing. Iv'e got two of them, for fixing purposes , one of them has a strip across the back of the unit inside the top shelf and one has a piece of mdf in each top corner.

Hi, I have some shelves made from 18mm MDF, around 800mm wide and 500 high which I want to attach to a breeze block wall in my garage. Looking for advice on what type and size of screws and plugs (and drill bit) I'd need to use. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the help. Most appreciated. I'll have a go at taking it out tomorrow. If I survive I'll put new one in.
