it live right at the back of your passenger side of the engine. Torx bolts but a 1/4" drive 8mm hex socket fits. Remove the plastic scuttle to give  you room.
You'll need a box of plasters afterwards. 
 
Not a difficult job, just fiddly cos you only see the coil pack as you remove the last bolt.

yup as andy says just remove scuttle  you really dont need to take off off plenum, but is really fiddly and plasters are a must
