    My ve commodore cannot start due to not drive for two months.
    It has a bettery at boot.
    Should I connect the jumpstartor to the battery at boot? Or do it at bonnet side?

    Thanks

    Yes. I have seen a positive terminal marked red under the bonnet. But where is the negative/earth terminal?

    See it now?
    Have you got a owners manual in the glove box?
    If so have a look in there too.

    Yes. Much thanks mate. Is it at the bottom right part of your second photo? Is the screw or the nut?

    I m sad that my owner mannual is missing. That's why I m quite confused about the location of the terminals. Faild to find a clear indication picture online. The positive and negative terminals are usually located together on the battery. That's what most car do. But the commodore has no battery under the bonnet so I cannot find the negative.

    This is your negative (-) terminal.
