Diesel Battery Removal, removing battery in spacestar diesel Options

[loz]

Hi,

I have recently had to replace the left hand headlight bulb on a 2003 RHD 1.9 diesel Spacestar, and it is best to move the battery to give more space, although, as I found, not absolutely necessary. The thing is, the battery is held in by retaining lugs on the rear of the battery tray, and a big black plastic clip on the front side...but how does this work? It has an invitingly large handle area at the front, which you would assume needs to be either pulled upwards or pushed down, to effect a cam lock onto the battery, but with reasonable amount of force, nothing happens? Anyone know what to do here, before I break something?

Also, I am looking at adding remote keyless entry to the manual, driver door only system the car has already. My local dealer fits a Cobra system, but I do not like the fobs. Anyone fitted an Rightclick system ( rclick.co.uk ) to the Spacestar? It looks like the Spacestar uses temporary switching to earth from operation of the internal door switch or the driver key barrel switch, which then instructs the ECU to fire the door actuators, and therefore, it should be possible to use any kit that utilises miniaturised relays with normaly closed / open and common terminals. However, most of the aftermarket kits seem to require another actuator for a driver door only system. Is this right? I'm not sure it is, but I wouldn't mind a second opinion!

Thanks for any help.
