Hi again folks, finally got Florence's head off, deffo head gasket gone on number one, so whilst I await new gaskets, belts, water pump etc, I thought about a bit of aesthetics: the battery side metalwork and ECU cage notably. Undone the front bolts, back bolts into the gearbox mount, the one that goes into the wiring clip, the two into the red capped thing bracket and the one at the bottom, back. The bugger won't come out am I stupid? How does it come away from the ECU?

Florence sounds a right cow.
The top of the cover can be very tight - if its the same as the 172/182 - random internet image below:
I needed to leaver mine off (carefully) - far tighter than it needed to be.

You're not wrong, she's a cow and a half!!
Nerve shreddingly tight, Flob, given the cost of what's under that cover!
And given your knowledge/ experience, Flob, am I right in assuming that at some point in her life, Florence had a battery cover that hooked onto the bracket at the back of the battery surround, excuse my lack of knowledge Florence is my first dalliance into the never ending hell of Gallic motor vehicle design.

No particular knowledge or skill sadly, I don't think they came with a battery cover however lots of people fit them to tidy the engine bay up.
Maybe I have misunderstood what you're asking - if you can take a picture that would help.

Various pictures Flob, none of which show the tightness of the ECU cover.now moved on to fettling the cylinder head. And the joy of finding a badly pitted lobe and follower. Florence just keeps on giving.
