its a 10 minute job mate. jack the side of the car up so you dont **** loads of oil everwhere, put a bowl underneath it as you will drop some oil, undo the 10mm bolts, remove cover and replace in reverse!! thats the easy side btw!

Hi just done mine on a newage, turbo side is ok just a little fiddley but the other is harder due to the air con pipes being there. Not hard just take your time and put sealer in the front corners. Make sure you do all the gaskets, bolt seals, plug holes etc
