I spent ages pushing down, pulling up, twisting, squeezing.... but the missus was getting cross so I had to turn my attention back to the purge valve pipe.


In the end I entirely gave up trying to get the pipe off. I just wanted to remove the battery box in order to give that corner of the engine bay a good clean as part of a total engine bay detail. I ended up sliding the whole purge valve assembly, along with it's annoying pipe, off the side of the battery box....by using it's (hidden) quick release tab.


Thanks for trying to help.
