The battery wasn't coming out without the risk of tipping it up too much, unless the boot trim came out fully so you could lift it straight up. There's very little free play on the +ve terminal to keep it out the way as well, so more space means less hands needed!

Here's a couple of pics - note the plastic trim along the bottom has been removed, as it makes removing and refitting the side trims easier. You just remove the luggage hold downs and the round plastic clips (x2) you remove the centre part of each disc leaving a slotted fitting that just wiggles out. The boot light just unclips.





If you can acquire a very low reading torque wrench the attached says 4Nm for the 4 bolts on the light itself. Make sure it's seated properly with the plastic barbs through the body before tightening and check the seal is in the right place

Alarm module replacement is covered in lots of places, but if you need to do it it makes sense to attack both jobs while you're there. I'd just buy a new module rather than messing about as most are so corroded they're useless. be prepared that if the batteries have leaked like mine have (only minor) then the acid tracks down the wiring and can destroy the plastic plug, so you may need a new plug and repair wires.
