Best method for engine removal
Right so my engine is definitely poked. Which leaves me with a simple question.
Google tells me there are 2 usual approaches.
Unplug loom, remove peripherals, then...
Option 1. Remove gearbox then the engine seperately
Option 2. Pull them out together
Who has used what method and why was it good or bad?

Definitely both together and I have found it pays to remove the radiator and ignition coil for a bit of extra room and remember to drain your gearbox or oil will poor out of the drive shaft end.You can get it out without removing the PPf but on refitting its a two man job if you don't.And obviously you will remove the bonnent![you knew that!].
I even dropped the sway bar down so as to enable it to come forward a bit before I lifted.

I've done 6 removals now for different people. Take it out together as one unit. Its far easier as the top gearbox bolts are a bitch to get undone.
Its far easier then to change the clutch/flywheel/whatever then. Just be careful when you pull the engine out that you don't crush the pipes along the top of the firewall.
