Wow that battery tray is pretty special - amazed that there wasn't all manner of nasty noises and driveline shunt with it hanging off like that! :o
Darren - you'll find it much easier removing and refitting engines in a 205 if you remove the slam panel, grill, radiator and cowling first - it's less than 5 minutes work (assuming the bolt rounding monkey haven't been there too) and gives you a huge amount of room to swing the engine in and out compared to doing it as you did.
Tom - if Paul hasn't got one (and he certainly did have, as I removed it from his silver shell myself before he scrapped it) then I should have a spare header tank. If you do need it and you're getting the battery tray from Paul then I could pass it onto him when I see him tomorrow to save you the postage costs.
