yup that would be your front engine mount, that should bolt to the side of your drivers wing/chassis isn't that nut/screw head positioned in the most lovely and reachable place

Yeah, just determined it was the engine mount, sent the photo to a mechanic friend.. and common sense told me it was. Hmmmm. yes its a lovely place, its the same on the scrap yard car but you can see it a little more. How do i get to it  anyway to break the clip?(Sorry for posting three times, your idea was better  )

no worries on the multiple posting  umm.. only thing i can suggest is use an extension bar with an adustable/moveable end on a small ratchet and see if you can get too it other than that a really long flat blade screw driver might get in there better if you can see the one at the scrap yard better go and get that off first befreo it closes and then come back to yours |

non those ubilee clips you can either use i think a 6mm ractchet bit or a flat blade screw driver as there a slot for it  screw driver might be your better option tho, only way i think you might be avle to break the clip is if you can get a set of pliers/cutters down there and into the gap, but i seriously dobt it, as i rmember the space being nice a tight like

Have you tried a long flat head screwdriver?, if it won't fit due to the head being too wide you could always grind it down so that the head is flat (bladed), it might be easier than trying to get a shorter driver down there.. |

Just found two huge rachet extensions and two huge screwdrivers. And a couple other bits. I'm off. Will update on the progress after blood sweat and tears. |

How annoying

Its a pain in the arse to get too, but you will get it off. try a flexible hose clip screw driver. |
