I would keep a sharp eye on the replacement.  There was a thing on here some months ago about non gen HBV's from dealers. Ensure you keep your receipt......  ;)

It is very easy to get to whent he scuttle cover and wiper motor is removed. I had my plenum and inlet manifold off too so that might have made it slightly easier. It took me a couple of minutes to change, but several to remove all the bits to get to it easily!
