isnt that a pretty std place to have one?

Ford Focus got me first time I hired one - its a key hole under the ford badge on the front grille!

The new fords are good. Especially the tranny when i went to jump start one and there was no battery under the bonnet. Its under the drivers arse,.

The pug levers are tucked up tightish to the dash and easily missed.

Nowt new there, Mini pickups had them there. If you didn't put the cover back on they shorted through the springs in the seat and set fire to it. Once I can understand, but me father did it three times.

bmw 3 series have the battery in the extreme right hand rear of the car kinda under the fuel filler zone. Id had the car 3 years before I even noticed the car didnt seem to have one!

Pretty standard for BMWs - my E34 touring had it under the rear seat. They did provide a hard connection under the bonnet for jumping off, though
