Thanks. I found a spares shop where I can buy the length I want and buy the battery terminals and lugs seperately. Immediately the car is started the positive terminal at the battery gets hot. The battery is new. Anyway this was happenning even before I replaced the battery.

Hi everyone,
Just bought a new positive cable to replace the old one, but found that there is no room at all around the alternator. I tried different wrenches, sockets ...but nothing works. What kinda a tool should I get to remove the damn 12mm nut?! I do not want to remove the fan assembly (its ridiculous). I was thinking about a flex extension but not sure it will help in this case. Any advise?
Thank you guys in advance!

Thx for the tip. Tried to reach the nut from underneath but it was even more complicated, huh. Anyway, did everything from the top. It was quite a challenge, but
