Sorry I've been slow to answer this one.  intake manifold probably about 1hr (20mins for scuttle, 40mins for intake first time around).  Plugs easily accessed from there.


intake:
remove plastic trim between intake and head, if present
remove 'turbo diesel' plastic - 2 jubilees and 1 bolt 10mm
undo egr pipe - 2 bolts 13mm
loosen top 2 bolts that hold manifold to bracket from oil filter housing 13mm
undo 12 bolts holding intake to head normall 13mm, but expect variantion if its been off before
remove vac to egr tube
remove 2 small vac feeds from main vac pipe (between cyl 2 and 3 iirc)
lift of intake - bit of a knack due to baulkhead - lift off studs first
as withdrawing, pull boost pressure tube from under manifold if present

At the risk of sounding like a complete plank, where are the induction hosing and breathers?  

The plastic bit that says "TURBO DIESEL" along it, and the pipes of either side, I cleaned mine out as they were drowning in oil. If you are feeling brave then follow the left hand pipe down to the Inter cooler and clean this out and check the fan isn't seized.

Changing the plugs isn't that bad, I did mine last January with the intake on (wouldn't recommend it) but if you do the job as per TheBoy's post - you will be fine. Its fun

Once you've done the intake once, it becomes a 10m job to remove, as you know how.

I couldn't for the life of me get the manifold off. It seemed the studs were at least 1/4" too long. So I did them with it on. Not fun

as withdrawing, pull boost pressure tube from under manifold if present

hmm i seem to remember that at your place we didnt take the scuttle off the auto one at all, which is the way i do it all the time???
agree it may make the lift a bit easier but i dont bother as there really is plenty enough room!

I don't take scuttle off, but first timer I would recommend they did
