Unhappy

I have only had my P1 for about a month and last night I discovered that the battery had nothing holding it down. It was just wobbling around. I could see this black plastic tray which the battery was on but that was just moving around too. I can see no way of clamping the thing down. Whats supposed to be there to secure the battery?
Can someone post pictures of their bay to show me what its supposed to look like.

Many thanks

Andy

There should be a clamp device holding the battery in place, on my car there are two threaded rods either side of the battery, they are just straight rods with a little hooks at the bottom a bit like the letter shape j. These two rods hook into the base & then theres a plate which goes over the top of the battery & fit over the threaded rods. The upper clamp is held in place by two 10mm nut. Try a search on engine bay pictures.
