Anyone have a step by step guide (not Haynes!) for engine removal (16v) please?
Cheers

Re: Engine removal
Everyone has the ‘own’ way of doing things.
So, here’s my idea’s
Take bonnet off
Drain fluids, oil, water & gearbox oil
Remove drive shafts, either complete, or split them at the Inner CV joint.
Remove air box
Remove battery & tray, along with clutch slave cylinder.
Disconnect wiring, break the connectors, leaving most with the engine
Remove radiator & hoses
Fuel, vac & heater pipes
Exhaust @ the front pipe
Power steering pump/ hoses
Throttle & C/control cables
Gear linkage & stability bar, at back of gearbox
Take weight of engine
Remove engine mounts, remembering the one on the gearbox/crossmember
Lift out engine
Would anyone like to add anything ?
