got to this stage
. not that much of a PITA. didn't know there was and extra 2 bolts to remove on the bottom cos the upper sump was still on ,
job to tackle next it remove the PS pump fully , remove the 2 hoses, which could be tricky seeing as the pump isn't connected to the car.
the vanos are being sent off for rebuild,
got to remove the upper chain tensioners, , ther proving to be a challenge too,
is there anything else I can tackle whilst it is at this stage??.
