Florence again ECU, battery side

[Paulios]

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.

Cheers Flob, I'll give it some persuasion. All this grief for a bit of black spray paint from Aldi

You're not wrong, she's a cow and a half!!

Nerve shreddingly tight, Flob, given the cost of what's under that cover!
