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!  ;D

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  :-\

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  :)

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!!  :o
