04 2.2 Getting the battery out - mike hannon
Pal of mine is scratching his head over what seems to be a very simple problem. He has disconnected the battery leads and can't see any obvious clamping mechanism but the battery won't lift out of its housing. It seems to be a tight fit in the housing but something also appears to be holding it in place. Is he missing something?

Is there not a clamp holding down the flange at the bottom of the battery. Remove clamp, move battery 1 cm and lift battery. Regards Peter

Thanks, I'll pass that on. That's exactly what I would have looked for but he says the battery is a tight fit in the mounting. Maybe you have to get at it from under the wing or something? We'll see...

Just bumping this back up the list in case anyone else has an idea or specialist knowledge and missed it at the weekend. Maybe I should phone Sarkozy - he's often seen in a 607 and they say he listens to anybody...
