If you do decide to change it, make sure you can get the bottom crank pulley nut undone, it is incredibly tight on the M30!

Well it's a simple job when you have the engine out but when its still in the bay it's going to be abut harder because the lack of space. Infact near on impossible.

Dizzy is easy with the engine in, did mine a few weeks ago.
H/G can be done in situ too, but best done while out though
