Depends how confident you are, not massively difficult but a pain in the ass on the floor.

We had to drop half the subframe to do my old 1.2 iirc, dont think its necessary but it made it a lot easier to gain access.

Its not a difficult job though, biggest problem was removing some of the old bolts.

 

[nik0590]

ah right how long would you say it would take?

 

[jenic]

We did it in an evening, but we had a pit and a crane.

crane? to support engine? u have access to air tools? what you gotta undo anything unusual?

Everything is pretty standard, just some of it was rusted on hard! We didn't use airtools, but did use a small blow torch to heat up some of the bolts holding the subframe on.

And yes, crane was used to support the engine.
