Could any one point me in right direction for info to do above please. Have done earlier cars, but EXACTLY what needs to come off to get at heads! | ||

Found info, not job for faint hearted. "book time " is 40hrs. It is pretty straight forward, as long as EVERYTHING is marked on removal and LOADS of pics taken. Stripping is in about 5 separate layers. Coil packs, drain coolant+ charge cooler, alt, 'fridge, air pump and adjusters/shims/brackets. Then charge cooler/throttle housing, then turbo and all associated exhaust cross pipes, then plenum chambers/ram pipes, then exhaust manifolds. Now you get to see heads, and just take off rockers/pushrods and head bolts. It is not easy, but with patience and time it is achievable!! | ||

Gordon, Just FYI, someone on rollsroyceforums.com just did this job. The thread in question is here. I have had repeated private e-mail correspondence with the gentleman who did this job as a DIY project after getting 5-figure estimates from every shop that could do it. If you wish to PM me with an e-mail address you can be reached at I could make an electronic introduction (or at least try to).
