thought this would be a straight swap over 
how wrong me and mate (mechanic) were 
had we known we would have dropped engine out to do it 
any1 else had problems when fitting these or u all take engine out? 
no space to do anything in these engine bays

It's not too bad to fit.  Just a bit fiddly round the back of t'engine.  If you think you need to remove the engine, you doing something wrong.
