Not for good.... but to easily switch between disspacs during strip down i sat mine on the plenum 

as for relocation youll find that disspac connector dont want to move very far!

Cant see the point, it fits ok, is not that bad to change and will only realy need doing once in the engines life.

Recall someone had moved it due to access and scuttle leakage

Where on Earth would you put it? lol I nearly lost my hand due to the limited access! 

I'd say the position is a bit shite. right under the scuttle where potentially water can leak. and also difficult to quickly replace leads and such.... but i really cant think where else it would go.

With a bit of bracketry im sure it could be moved , once the scuttle has been off it seems they prone to leak so re sealing with goo is a must . I was going to make a drip cover for the coil pack when i replaced mine , just a matter of what to use and how to secure it

I was thinking the exact same thing. only thing stopping me was thinking where would it drain off to?

Just runs down the back of the engine i think , with plenty of sealant on the scuttle for a start to stop most of the dripping then the cover it should be good , maybe the OP was to move for a different reason

But wouldn't that then drip on the crank sensor or something else quite important?

I reckon seal it up and have a drip tray attached to the scuttle itself. then drain out every month

Don think there would be that much to cause any problem , no more than what gets sprayed underneath when its raining . I think someone said they used some of that shed felt draped over the coil pack , might have a go with that

Now that sounds like a good idea.

Steve, if you do this defo post a guide as i bet you'd get lots of people doing that

Why not have it attached to the block ''eye'' and not touching the d/pc itself and create a ''run-off''

I recently bought a facelift 3.0 Elite off another OOFer with the intention of breaking it.  This has had the dis-pack relocated next the the PAS reservoir, where it has been cable tied in place!!
