basically locate it, looks like starship enterprise then release the clips holding the pipes to it, pull off pipes taking note of which one goes where, take off vacuum pipe on top then replace with new hbv  simples :y  oh and a box of plasters and swear box would be handy  ;D ;D

Wierd place to store a leek I reckon? Mobile grocer maybe?
( you may be new m8, but you are bound to get some stick with a spelling mistake like that one.... its all in good fun though and you have had the location of the How To so all should be well now.)
If you want a few laughs go to the Discussion area. There are some right pearls on there......... ;D ;D :D

I just changed mine on my V6. Its not a hard job to do the worst part is just gaining access. You definately need the plasters to hand.

If you take the scuttle off its an easy job and no plasters are required.  Should only take 20 mins  :y

I took the scuttle and the plenum off, and the cable support bracket too, after it took the skin off my forearm. But I triumphed in the end!!!

Its really quite easy, you should browse through the maintenace guides, there are step by step instructions for doing just about everything there. Its a fantastic resource.
