   im on about the big 16v thing, if im misleading people on what i mean by tb :L
   cause i un did the top 3 bolts and tried lifting it off, but then realised that there were 2 at the back, but its hard to get too

   yea there is 2 bolts on the back i found it easyer if you put a allen key bit in a rachet with a extension bar
