It just two nuts to remove from memory . The whole lot with map sensor etc should come out as one lump then you can get at the coil mounting bolts/screws .You can see here, two slots in the mounting bracket .....

If you just want to remove the coil it will seperate from the rest of the gubbins - 4 screws you can just see in Clee's pic and it can then drop down. Use a stubby screwdriver and you'll probably want to remove the metal section of the air intake pipe (just to make life easier)

Not easy to get to and your back will ache from leaning over the side of the car but then isn't that always the case.

I figured that was the reason... but the adapt works just fine on a 2 bar (I have the calibration details if anyone wants them).

We ran a cossie 2 bar sensor on the TT DeLorean (a fiver off ebay!), which turned out to have a range up to 2.5 bar. Handy!

My backup system is "always have a laptop in the car" :lol: then you know for absolute certain exactly what you need to do once the AA have hauled you back to the workshop....!

Indeed, but only up to 1 bar of boost.
