Hi ian
you will have to drop the exhaust i think unless you have bendie hand's as its an 8v if it was a 16v then the manifold mises it!

Hi,
If you have a long socket (to fit over the terminals) and then a long extension (to miss the exhaust manifold) you might be able to do it. I suspect you will also need to drop the gearbox oil first.

Thanks...I will have a look when the weather improves.
Dropping the manifold is a pain in the butt.
I got stopped by the gentlemen of the local constabulary this week for driving with them on (switch sticking I imagine).
After thanking them for kindly bringing this to my attention and sharing a joke (at my expense) about running Alfa Romeos they let me off the fixed penalty ticket.
