I done my first one on the Elite estate, found it a tad exasperating but using a "shortcut" I`d happily do it again

Bending battery tray, or leaving a screw out?

Nope

- you are better than some I've seen recently then.

Loads of extention bars is the only other 'easier' way I know of then

Battery out, the 3 multi-plugs and ECU tied out of the way with the loom, PAS res. bracket removed & res. moved away, top hose removed at transfer pipe, undo ABS pump bracket securing nuts, grab pump and pull up from bracket, brake pipes bend enough without kinking to remove all six screws.

and you didn't do a How2?

I just did

  Its looking more like a 5 spanner job. How long did it take you.

The only occasions I`ve worked on the V6 it`s been for stripping them so haven`t had to worry about cutting this or breaking that
Doing the ECU on this estate took me about 2 hours to remove then about an hour to re-fit. Didn`t think it too bad for a first time
