I will move the wiring connector to the front now and have them in the engine bay just to be sure. Cheers George.

Hi George.....I need your kind advise please. I am having a BMW E93 (Built Year 2007) I have nit used the car for nearly 3 months and the battery is dead now. I have jump-started and drove for nearly 1 hour on motorway at the speed of 70mph. Even after that the car battery is not charged and the car is not cranking. But, jump-start works. Do you think that I can restore the battery using the battery pools in engine bay? The battery is around 5 / 6 years old.
