I can't see where you are coming from to be honest.

The parts are there for a reason.

And, to remove a headlight bulb, it takes seconds. The battery is usually held on by either 1 or 2 phillips screws, screwed through a holding plate and onto the battery tray. How long does it take to undo 2 screws? And thats even if its a tight squeeze. You do not need to disconect the battery, just unscrew it from the battery tray, then it will slide/lift out to a certain extent. It's all I do.

I'm into performance cars, and I used to be a mechanic. You should see some of the engines we have worked on/built. We tend to put big powerful lumps into small engine bays,where there is no space. Relocation often occurs, with the battery, water header tank, windscreen wiper water etc all being moved to the boot.

But, under a normal car bonnet, things are there.

And, most car engines are very easy to work on, even when doing the hardest of jobs. I can't beleive you complain about changing a lightbulb... [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

The only time engine work gets tricky, is on high-powered jap motors. But even then changing a headlight bulb is very easy.
