Thinking of starting to tackle this tonight... Anyone know how?
Is it a bumper-off job, or can I get to it from the inside?

Do we win anything if we guess right?

If memory serves you won't need to touch the bumper; if you drop the rad out there should be enough room to fiddle it out. At least that's how it worked out when I changed one of the cooling fans!

Gah! Helped the missus move out of her old flat on Saturday and woke up Sunday with almost every muscle in my body pulled

Something doesn't want me working on this car

Why do you think I've not been around at evenings and weekends recently?
Nevertheless, I'm going to attack this tubby this evening... Got a new PAS pipe and pump for my coupe, but dad's tubby's hogging the garage, so I need to hurry up and get the damn thing out so I can work on my baby
New intercooler, hoses and valves, so hopefully it should soon have a bit of boost to it!
(when I say "new", I mean "2nd hand". Not made of money...
