I was trying to pull the inlet manifold off to get at the hoses underneath, but I seem to have got stuck.
I've pulled off the injector harness and disconnected the pipework from my intercooler.
I've taken all the nuts (and one bolt) off the studs.
I've taken out the strut brace.
I've disconnected the TPS harness.
I've undone the brackets holding hoses across the top of the plenum (power steering and vacuum to the brake servo?).
I think the problem is just hoses on the bottom of the manifold. - I've got one off and I'm sorely tempted to start cutting the rest.
How many have I got to remove (and where)?
Once I've done that it can just be man-handled out?
I've got a picture of the back of my engine from when it was out... but it doesn't really help me since it wasn't taken at a useful angle:
