It is really just a nut and bolt job:
Two engine mount nuts.
Power steering: I think its three bolts , then tie it out of the way.
Water hoses: two from the heater matrix, two rad hoses and two to the expansion bottle. Big return pipe for the water just unclips off the chassis.
Wiring: Disconnectes from the battery, the 3 big plugs just twist off (by the battery), unpug the ECU (under the big triangle thingy) and unclip any relays still attached in the same box. The whole wiring loom comes out with the engine in one..
Throttle cable is a couple of clips
Fuel pipes are two screw unions
Air filter hose
Pipe from Aux Air device to solenoid
Exhaust: Remove the downpipe (4 bolts on the manifold, two bolts to the rear section and undo the wiring to the Lambda sensor
Not sure about the A/C as don't have it on mine.
Apart from the starter motor and exhaust bracket, and the 6 bolts for the gearbox, think thats it. Have I missed anything?
