How do i remove the three pointless screws?... do i need to remove the battery to screw it off? ( i know it sounds dumb lol but it doesnt seem that straight forward to me) and how do i undo them beast of a clips (metal looking thing) on the induction piping.

Any help would be great, cheers

Any pic's to shed light on these screws

I had a look yesterday when washing the car but this is an old photo. The said screws are to the left of the battery, pointing towards the induction piping. I can't see what they do but it would appear that the battery needs removing to extract them. Personally, I would leave it as Fiat intended.

But...what about them beast of a clips? We're all agog to know the answer

Bit of sideways searching finds this...

Seems to answer it quite nicely

yes, them are the 'beast of a clip' lol... in the end i used pilers and yanked them out, and the screws needed to be moved so i could fit my BMC CDA =P.... cheers for the reply peeps, was gunna upload pictures of the said screws but saved me time cheersss

Once removed, fit a good quality Jubilee clip:

Would have thought you would have used a stainless steel one
