Hi thanks for your quick responce

Is this job easy or a pain i have read thats it hard to do, but by your instructions it sound easy is there any problems i mite encounter along the way

Depends mate

how good you are with spanners

vecs are probably one of the more pain in the arse clutches to do be side of subframe.

their not massively hard to do just very time consuming.
i would say a full weekends work if doing on back.
