Attached the battery terminals on my discovery td5 and now showing no power I have popped a battery fuse but just wondering if that would of saved it and not frazzled my ecu etc ..
Attached battery wrong way round

You'll see that after you connect it well if everything works or not

It was symbolic/figurative/ metaphorical!

That is so white I bet the pic was taken in a morgue!

Thats it you have caused offence one time to many, to the corner with the dunce hat for you
The battery terminals are a different size to each other, the larger one is always the positive.

Sure I did this and knackered the alternator, or was it the flux capacitor

Unlikely. The main fuse isn't there to protect against reversed battery connection, as it shouldn't happen.

never noticed, but in that case the lesson is to always connect the -ve first
I always connect the +ve first however!! for the simple reason, when you're tightening the connection, it doesn't matter if the screwdriver/spanner makes contact with the bodywork. more of a motorcycle issue though

Always wonder how anyone can even get the terminals the wrong way round. Quite apart from things like the plus and minus signs on the batt and the colours of the leads.

Quite easy when you have poor eyesight and little time

So you shouldn't use your tongue either to test if there any voltage left. This why I am walking with a limp as my third leg took the brunt. The doctors said I can never use a electric kettle unless I wear thick black Marigolds on my feet.
