not done a how to, but it is an easy and straight forward job tbh, that is as long as it's not an AWD.....I changed the flange seal, block seal and return pipe when I did mine as a kind gentleman...

2 torx bolts mate.

Unplug your headlight wipers

Yeah, they'll all undo, though some are a bit fiddly, it'll help if you have a ratchet ring spanner of the correct size (17mm I think) and the wishbones will come off without removing the bolts, but...

Top pipe doesn't have a clip mate. Best way to check your pcv, take it for a 20 minute run, pull over and with the engine running, pull the dipstick out. If you see puffs of smoke coming out then the...
