Hopefully the CRV I have now will prove easier but as it has a transverse engine I don't hold much hope
But the cabin filter in my car is a PITA, it’s somewhere in the passenger footwell, behind a million other things.
In my BMW the battery is in a compartment in the boot. It's a garage job.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I left it for another day but about a week later I coincidentally realised I was about to pass Renault in Ballymena (we didn’t get the car there, we bought it privately). I asked them to do it for me and just before they took the key I asked the price and how long it might take.
”Yer lookin at £120 plus VAT plus materials so ye are hey”.
I said to them to give me a few mins and I walked outside and popped the hood again. I took the bulb I bought (£4) and proceeded to remove the rubber cab. I managed to get my hand into the fitting, I’ll not lie... it was sore, but after a few minutes of manoeuvring the bulb clicked into place. With the car facing the showroom service desk where Bonzo A and Bonzo B were sitting I flashed the lights and waved. Off I drove with my £4 bulb thus saving me over £180.
So yes, “newer“ cars are awful for changing things on. But french cars are proper shit. (Sorry for rambling!)

And apparently the batteries they fitted as stock were cheap and often failed after a couple of years.

I can back up SCRelics about the headlamp bulbs too - but I have very small hands, and I can change one easily in 30 seconds. It has occurred to me that I should offer it as a service at a third of the Renault rate .

One thing I've learned over the years fixing cars is always do proper research first. I once spent half a morning taking out half the dash on a Clio to get to the heater motor ... then decided to stop for a coffee and browsed a forum where someone had discovered if you remove the wiper motor access plate at the top of the engine bay you could get on the heater motor from there.
Of course, most amps *aren’t* designed like that by people with repair experience, and you really do have to take the whole board out.

pedals out job which is just madness.
(Definitely true on my 2005 Scenic, I haven’t actually tried it on the new one.)

The BMW battery in the boot thing can cause issues. There are flaps/vents in the boot that open into the wheel arches to equalise pressure so the passengers ears don't pop when the boot gets closed, but they can stick open and let water in when you're driving in wet weather. This lets water in, which gathers in the lowest point, which is the battery compartment (which also contains a junction box). I had 2 inches of water in mine when I noticed the sloshing sound, and from what I've read I'm not the only one with that problem.
I had a Clio RSi back 20 years ago and couldn't FIND the dipstick (other than the one that bought the car in the first place) until many days later.......again you had to have child's hands to find the very short dip at the front of the engine. No chance of doing it when the engine was anything other than stone cold.

Whereas I recall seeing the engine bay when my sister owned a Morris Minor - you could climb in and walk round the engine
