1. yes mate You must remove the negative first though. I did have to buy a new bolt and nut, which is these.
Here are some pic's,
I had to cut abit of the cover away to get it clip back down.
2. Just use a 10mm spanner / socket but again always remove the negative 1st and make sure it won't come back into contact with the battery.
3. Power will be lost but IIRC the radio won't need the code, (Having an aftermarket unit I can't be 100% sure one of the other lads can say for sure).
4.You can see from my pictures above it's as close to battery as I can get it this is for safety reason the closer it is allows the it to blow quicker if there is a problem this lessening the risk of fire etc.
5. It depends mate if you have ran all cable etc and everything is ready too hook a auto spark might only charge a few beers.
Eden on Poole Road Branksome? I got mine there, ring them and say you have no radio code etc and you got the car from them and they should sort it out at no cost if not you want to speak to Robin Fielder the Manager.
If you live in Poole I'm in Bournemouth so will be happy to help you out mate.
