All fitted - managed to sneak on cts clip without taking plenum off - it is easier to screw in the back wiper linage screw first.

Scuttle resealed just in time for the thunder storms last night - thanks again for everyones advice/support. :y :y

One of the few things I like about having a 2.0.

Had to change mine Tuesday after work and disconnected the hoses from under the car using hose clip pliers (extended ones with the cable) and simply removed the pipes from above. Whole job took less than 15 minutes, plus time to flush and bleed the cooling system afterwards.

Only had to remove the brake servo vacuum pipe and the 2 thin vacuum tubes to get access on the top.

I have to agree, owning both a 3.2 and a 2.2, the 2.2 is just a joy to work on.

Although I must admit, being 4 up, the 3.2 still goes really, really well. 4 up in the 2.2, well thats a different story  ::)

How do you get a 2.2 with 3.2 power :P - then it would be easier to work on!
