Where do you clamp the negative jump lead on your V70 ?

My old D5 had a great connector for the negative .The 2.4 does not seem to have this . Jumped a friends car today and it took 3 goes to find a good ground

The recommended negative point is the bracket by the power steering pump.

blimey, since when? I've jump started off various different batteries many many times over the years

in this car I wouldn't, but that's just because it's a pain having to lift up the boot floor, unbolt that little metal frame and take the cover off
