I have a toyota corolla 2000 vvti gs and has done 57000 mileage, can someone also recommend whom shall i get my first service with i.e. private garage or from toyota. I bought this second hand car just a month ago and i have not even used it but due to sudden change in temperature few weeks back the battery doesn't work at all, nor does the central locking or radio. Pls guide me to get this car working properly without having any issues. this is my first car in the UK and its a shame the battery has gone flat. a brief guide of how to dismantle the battery from the car and charge it would be great and also some basic tips to maintain a car. Also pls suggest me if i should go with Toyota dealer for servicing or private. thanks a lotCan someone please describe how to dismantle a car battery and charge it with black and decker recharger pls?you really dont want to dismantle the battery, there isnt really a whole lot of good that will come of it, especially if you are trying to figure out how to do it on here. the battery probably just needs to be re-charged, but if it only sat for a month, you might have an electrical issue with the car causing a constant battery drain. it shouldnt do that, unless of course you left the light on or something like that. a battery here in the states would probably set you back any where from 50 to 100 dollars, and install would be free. try to find an auto parts store and ask if they can charge and test, most around here do it for free anyway.
as far as service, you might be better off going to the dealership and have them service it for you, make sure everything is right and then you could start doing maitnence yourself. chiltons, or haynes makes good manuels for vehicles, i would suggest buying one befor you do any work yourself. save you a lot of time and money. good luckCan someone please describe how to dismantle a car battery and charge it with black and decker recharger pls?You can charge the battery it in the car. Hook your charger red clamp to positive side of the battery red terminal and black clamp to negative side of battery which is black terminal that has black cable attached to it. You dont have to take battery out
