Holy old thread - still subscribed to it!

I use one of them on the Esprit, but I suspect battery access will be the problem on the 340.
It's a pain in the Esprit as I have to open the boot, lock the car with the remote, disconnect the battery and then shut the boot.
Regularly do it in the wrong order...

That said it's been sat on 3 wheels for about a month while I dissolve the remains of the oil rad form one of the oil lines with casutic soda.....

Yep, battery access a problem in the 340 same as the 2-11 Sanjoy?

Proper 2-11 style battery isolator? (not cheap I suspect) Hole in the clam needed but race chic... ;)

Leaving the battery cover off you could use the 10 quid thing that Ross suggested but then not much more to just disconnect the battery terminal...

Yup battery access is via 3 hex bolts which is a chore. The elec cut off could be cabin based.
