how do you get to the 12 volt battery when its covered by the engine bay cover

 

[Alb]

Remove the cover?
It's not intended to be routinely accessed AFAIK.

There's a pop off cover on the right hand side of the engine bay cover. Take that off and you can see the battery,

There's a removable panel in the cover which gives access to the battery terminals.

Ooo, you've just reminded me to pop a 10mm spanner in the boot for that "just in case, reboot the system" time.

So the emergency pull cord for the charging release is under the plastic cover. How do I remove the cover? In what position should the screws be?

 

[Lguk]

They unscrew (come upwards) and allow you to pop the plastic rivets out, then the cover can be pulled off the velcro. Everyone suggests a 10mm spanner. No one mentions a flat headed screwdriver for the engine bay cover.

Thanks for the reply. Do the screws need to be in a certain position?

Good mention of the flathead screwdriver ?

In the holes ?

In the holes ?

A funny? answer to a serious question.
Do the screw heads need to be horizontal or vertical?
