What are you struggling with?

It's fairly easy as long as you remove all the chaff & get access to it all.

do it when the car isn't hot..............

It's like all these things mate, you've got to remove a fair bit of stuff before you can get too it.

It's one of those where you have to let your hands be the eyes :scared: but it's only three bolts when you can get too it.

Just make sure you are careful when you re-connect the starter motor Power Cable as if you don't orientate the connector to the starter motor correctly, there is a risk that the cable will earth out on the Exhaust Downpipe.

I should know, I did it!! :cry:
