Easiest way is to take it to the "Dynamic Duo" ... and watch them struggle !!! 

I was really glad it was them doing it, not me, when it wouldn't go back together the way it should ........ :)

Job was done, at the agreed price, in a very professional manner. I would recommend them to anyone .. :)

EGR nut off and EGR valve unplugged
Rear plenum breather hoses off
Throttle and cruise cables off
Rear multiram connector and vacc line off
Idle control valve and connector off
2 x Front air intake hoses off
2 x passenger side cable tray bolts off
4 x plenum bolts out, and remove air intake plenum

6 x torx bolts removed for upper manifold. E12 socket required and mid length extension bar.

Fuel injector connector off (large connector at rear of engine, connected to upper manifold).

Lower inlet divider off (more torx bolts!)

Rad hose off the coolant transfer pipe.

Bolt on the front side of the 2-4-6 head removed, (bolt that holds the dipstick tube, lifting eye and coolant transfer pipe).

Coolant transfer pipe seperated from stat housing, and removed.

Stat housing removed, with 2 torx bolts.

Re-fitting is reverse of removal, just ensure all mating faces are clean. Plenum bolts 6nm, ensure all O rings are kept.

It's a job that can be done DIY and will take a couple of hours  :y

Obviously, replace O rings on the front link pipe at the same time, you'll need to get these seperately

Take off cam belt, take off backing plate.

Break lug off pipe, saw through dip stick bracket, remove head, angle grind off bastard bolt.

Mine was horrible to do

Spent about hour trying to remove hose from housing and ended up changing the stat with it still partially fitted. Took a while but at least the hose DROPPED OFF when I went to refit the securing bolt for it. Missus thought I lost a hand by my stream of queens english.

step 16 is the one that caused Martin the grief, I think.  Affectionately known as the B'astard Bolt.....  Loads of fun and amusement for the over 12's....   ;D

It was watching the ever so slightly smug grin on a certain gentlemans face as it came out oh so easily ....  but when he tried to refit it ... now that was a different story ........  :)  he then had to earn his fee ...... :)
