If you did it again, would it be an easier job? Are then any tips that you could pass on? Photos?

The pictures I have that aren’t on the thread don’t really show much useful.
If you have Vida, the instructions are accurate although it doesn’t mention that you need to remove the plastic under the windscreen and the bulkhead behind the engine, it bolts on. Took me a while to work that out.
I couldn’t get the EGR valve to disengage from one of the thermostat housing pipes, it’s just a push fit but wouldn’t shift. I ended up cutting the pipe with a small dremel and dealing with the pipe on the bench.
I estimate I’d be able to to the job 2-3 hours quicker having done it once and knowing what has to come off.
