Of course you can get to the battery by yourself.

It's not that hard: you just need the right tool [which is easily acquired] to undo the two floor bolts to hinge the seat back but I see you have a T3!

Here's the how-to - it's a very easy ten minute job on T1s and T2s.

There are different opinions on the T3 as to whether or not the seat still hinges [electric seats may be different] so you can check this out on yours:

Changing the T1, T2, T3 and T4 battery, including both batteries in the V10 - myTreg forums
I AM CONSIDERING DOING THAT AND BE WORRIE FREE AT LEAST FOR THE BATTERY!

insurance: should I keep full insurance ?! buy an external properties insurance for the storage unit ?

Talk to them (your insurance company) and let them know you won't be driving it. I think there is a policy or something for people with summer cars that allows insurance against loss from fire, vandalism, and so on (but not driving).

My boss used to have a Porsche he only drove during summer, he would have a different kind of insurance on it during off season that was dirt cheap (I believe other than home insurance). Might ask.

Edit: would add if you have a lien (financed) be sure you check the above with lien holder first to make sure all is ok. You don't want forced place insurance while you are gone $$$$
yeah im on a finance.. should I talk to the dealer and let him know? :???:
