   on the lambda plug there is a red tab. lever it out carefully with a flat blade screwdriver, the plug will then be able to seperate

   unclip? You have to use a spanner on a mark2 to get the lamba sensor out the manifold and feed it through the gap of the cover..

   Just unplug the pre-CAT lambda at the green connector and feed it through the hole in the manifold cover - lambda can stay in the manifold.

    File gently around the edges of the 9mm bolts then use an adjustable wrench to undo.
