Does this thing the two pipes are going into look like the "Starship Enterprise"?

Better still is it this that the arrow is pointing at?

heater bypass valve, as said above and in your other thread.

Dealer only part, pattern are even more unreliable.
35 odd quid from vx. Get your mole grips out, scuttle and bracket off for a battle.

Depends on how big your hands are ;D

The car will bite you and so get some plasters at the ready....

As much room as you can really so whatever is best for you.

I found to take off the plenum and scuttle fine :y I have heard of people removing the inlet manifold too.... it is all personal preference :y

Nope. Fit the correct part.
