Removing Battery

[zendog]

I want to remove the battery on my C5 (2.0 HDi 52 plate) have turned the locking cam thing at the front to release that fixing but the battery still wont budge. Dont want to force it if there is anything else holding it in. Still haven't got an owners manual so need some guidance.

 

Thanks in advance.

check to see if its bolted down at the bottom edge on the battery

There are no bolts holding the battery. Give the hexagon a quarter turn anticlockwise and the plate beneath will slide forward, away from the lip at the bottom of the battery. If the cam hasn't been released for awhile, maybe a large screwdriver between the battery and the slider will help.

Don't expect the owner's manual to give you much help on any slightly technical under-the-bonnet issues! I always have to get out my most large screwdriver and lever as described every time. Nothing to worry about breaking. You'll get used to it every time a bulb goes. Good luck!

push the battery towards the windsreen then lift the side closest to the hedlight and pull out. the battery has a lip on in and slides into a recess
