I'd also go along with take out anything you might damage. It also makes it much easier to pop back in. I took out the fans n rad, intercooler, airbox, and water tank plus breather canister from what I can recall. You might want to remove or tie back the speedo cable and undo the clutch cable too. Bonnet was off too as suggested. The fuel line clip thingy can be a swine and there is a special tool - though most people I know improvise something.

If its 2wd get the top gearbox bolts out first - the ones at the back / top of the engine, then jack / hoist the engine up and unbolt the mounts from below. Keep the gearbox on a jack if you can. Unbolt the remaining four bolts and pull the lump forward and off the gbox. It really is simple and the whole thing with turbo, plenum etc. will have loads of room if everything else is out as described.

If its 4wd you need more info

Engine out...



Engine In...



oops obviously the exhaust and heatshield too!!
