There is a small panel/tray present to the nearside which obstructs easy access, that tray simply unclips and lifts out. Once out of the way it's a dead easy job to connect the lead. The CTEK's rat's tail that connects to the battery is just about long enough. I bought the optional indicator socket and it sits there flashing one of three colours and lets you know if you need to give the battery a top up, its well worth the extra couple of quid.
If you want some images just let me know and I'll sort some.
Seems like a lot of trouble when you can more easily clip the negative lead onto the engine?
