Easy peasy mate! Its pretty self explanatory when you get under the bonnet. Just undo all of the bolts around the rocker cover and move or unplug anything else thats in the way. I believe you have to replace the bolts to the correct torque settings though.

Inlet manifold gasket will be needed as you need to remove it.

I would allow a couple of hours to be honest.

I think its similar to doing the 16v, been along time since i've done one.
Allow a couple of hours. Once the upper inlet manifold is off, its pretty straight foward.
