xantia hdi gearbox mount

[flying clutchman]

could someone advise me of how to access the geabox top mount on the later xantias. On the earlier models you simply removed the battery. On the hdi models the lhm resevoir and abs unit sit right on top of it.

Cant see how simply removing the battery helped.. you still had the fuse box in the way and the "shelf" for the abs block is also still there. I do it the same way as mk.1 models. 18mm socket and ratchet.. or between the abs block and fuse box I undo 1x 10mm nut and lift the ABS shelf up a bit to gain a bit more room...

my memory must be playing tricks on me then, I know I used to be able to access it quite easily. There just isn't room on some versions to get a socket in.
