i am wanting to clean out the coil pack connectors,the ht leads have a bit of verdigree on them. i cannot reach to clean them in car, how hard is it to undo the pack to move it forward, so that i can reach?
it appears from looking at the coil pack on e-bay, that the bracket holding the pack together, mounts onto the 2 rear inlet manifold bolts, is this correct?

It mounts to four points on the inlet manifold. Take out engine mounts and drop engine mount brackets onto chassis mount brackets. This give you loss of clearance.

You may need to loosen the fuel rail according to the manual.

Careful when you lift the engine up to take out the engine mountings as there's little space between coil pack and bulkhead.

I've just replaced the coil pack and plug leads on mine. I removed the plenum, removed the 4 bolts securing the coil pack and slide it out towards the passenger side. The whole job took about an hour.
