Had this problem with my Freelander, u can try removing the bolt and gently prising the clamp apart a little then filing or cutting a bit of the inside away (on the flat surface where the bolt goes), thus making it smaller and therefore tighter around the (worn) battery post. Its very soft metal, lead I presume. You basically need to make the clamp as small as the battery post, ensuring a good tight fit.

no - but the clamp could be. Get a new clamp.
