Anyone on here replaced their f-type battery themselves?

Is there a guide floating about somewhere (could not see one :oops: )?

Is there anything that needs to be reset or set-up afterwards?

Thanks :)

Windows will probably need resetting, and you may lose your trip values.

This is what I did to My Range Rover Sport, similar system to Ftype. No resetting afterwards
This is what I did as I did not want to be resetting anything. I connected a set of jump leads to under bonnet charging points & connected them to the new battery on the ground. Disconnected old battery & removed it. Connected another set of jump leads to the first set & connected to the old battery. Removed the jump leads connected to the new battery & fitted it to the car. Disconnected the jump leads from under bonnet points. Finished, power always to the car, no resetting.
Sounds more difficult than it is
