    I would say that it takes about an extra hour to 1.5 hours to R&R , but to me that is offset by the lack of access otherwise.
    If/when I do mine again I will remove the manifold, however I will remove the fuel cooler first, and possibly the EGR controller. I didn't want to break into the coolant last time but the access around the cooler is a PITA.
    Regards Philip A

    Hmm.
    My FPR was replaced roughly 3k ago, new block and new gasket.
    It's still leaking

    Where abouts is it leaking from? There's about four different spots it could leak from or more which is crap.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    I did.
    Replaced the block but put the incorrect gasket on so removed again about a week later and replaced with the correct gasket.
    Top two bolts seem tight, but will probably remove along with inlet manifold so I can double check it's not dirt trapped between the gasket and the mating surface or something like that.
    Strange thing is that it seems to have only started leaking again recently.
    Seems to be the lower side.

    Drive to my place and I will. When mine started leaking six months ago I was having sleepless nights while waiting for the new one to arrive.

    I really do not know what all the fuss was about. It wasn't that hard a job.

    From memory from last month.
    Remove intercooler hose, remove EGR if you have it.
    Remove loom from air box, maf, temp and injectors and boost sensor .
    Remove boost sensor.
    Undo 4 nuts from fuel cooler (one of the more fiddling parts)
    Remove glow plug leads
    Undo clamp for dip stick, you don't have to remove it.
    Undo 2 nuts and 10 or so bolts for manifold.
    Then you have all the space in the world for the fpr and front hose.

    Probably a bit of benefit to removing viscous fan as well
