what do you exactly need to know?

i have recently done a v6 in a coupe. there actually pretty easy to do, it just looks daunting as its huge! lol

removal is via the top, removing the bonnet completely helps alot. you will need to bring the engine out at an angle, cambelt end highest, gearbox lowest.

wiring loom can stay attached to the engine. just remove the main loom plug from the passenger side inner wing.

i also find removing the radiator is good. gives an extra 3 inchs which we all know helps! :cheesy:

Thanks for the help :!: Got to change the radiator anyway because its starting to leak. Looks like I'm going to have fun, one garage has quoted 4 days labour to change the engine over, he's having a laugh.
