No all pretty straight forward. Have you bought a egr blanking kit yet because you really don't need to if you can get hold of a welder?

shouldn't need any gaskets if you are careful.
When you change the long intercooler hose across the front of the top of the engine, cut a section off the old hose, split it, and wrap round the new one where the fixing screw will rub on the hose, to prevent it chafing the new one.

I found the hose in question was a bit thinner and clears the screw head !

Nice colour-oh, it's the same as mine :lol:
I am happy cleaning the manifold but am a bit worried about the ports!! What's the best way to clean them?

Nothing to worry about , wrap a thin rag around your finger , insert in the port and twist as you remove your finger , it should remove the gunk from around the port , repeat with a clean bit of rag until clear , be careful not to drop any thing down them !

No , the gaskets are pretty robust , but what a horrid messy job , the gunk is the blackest black I have ever come across
oven cleaner got half of it out the rest was white spirit and lenths of bed sheet passed through the port holes in the intake manifold with a lenth of wire coat hanger , worth while doing though , its like giving your engine a new set of lungs hope these tips help !
