Scroll down to the battery removal section

2 screws going from the underneath of the car into the fiberglass battery box. Undo them and the box will come out - disconnect the battery first.

Also worth marking round the screw holes top and bottom of the car as its easier to then locate them when installing the new battery.

Helpful hint, permanent marker along front off battery box and sides on the floor of the car, then when you go to put it back in you can return it to the original position and makes it esier to put bolts back in, also, make sure you mastic round the bolts and washers to make sure no water gets in.

Just changed my battery today. Certainly recommend marking the position of the battery box for removal as this worked a treat. I can imagine that it is a complete bd if you don't.

Best of all, skin is all in tact on my knuckles

Make sure that the new battery has a high cold crank amp rating (630 amp+). Mine had been fitted with a lower rating, which explains some of the fun and games I had.
