Okay., Battery has died in my mk2. so swapping the new battery from my mk3 into it.
One Problem.. my mk2 battery doesnt want to budge.. its like its glued in. is there a bolt that im not seeing??

uh ? awkward ? probably one of the easiest simplest there is :)


front lower edge there's a 13mm bolt in a clamp half way along holding it into the tray

back edge is slotted in to a lip so once bolt/clamps out luift front slide forward slightly and lift :)

worth taping/fixing em flush to the board too or you'll be cursing when ya rip em off putting the shopping in the boot - been there :)
