2 no, not really but i do like to change the upper plenham gasket

i am sure it will be obvious when i go to do it but can you describe were all the bolts will be just incase there is any hidden ones i miss.

will look into the plenum gasket.

just go steady with the ratchet when your doing them up as the upper plenum ones are easy to strip the threads.

Watch the clips and sensors...bein french these can be troublesome in the future.
