Is this a big job? Any one in the north west have a spare?

Running out of time before the convoy on sat.
I would of used the search bar but my Internet is down from a house move. Using phone for now

It's not a terribly big job bud, just horribly awkward if you still have the Y-Bracket in place. Two bolts and one plug sees her off, room is the issue.

The inlet manifold and plenum? Doesn't it sit on top of the transfer case going back to the flywheel; so maybe just the inlet pipework to give you some room over that side of the engine (I can see why that Y-bracket would make this so much harder)?

I found taking of the rear gear box stabiliser mount 3 bolts made it an easy job and removing the inlet pipe if you have a front mount:thumbsup:

The other problem is the 'bastard bolt' (as smo named it lol).
I'm sure its one of the starter motor bolts that is rediculous to get undone as you have no room to turn it much.
Or am i getting mixed up with one of the bell-housing bolts that is situated right near sensor and starter motor ?
good luck anyway chap :).... just bump start it for now lol
