You only need to undo the nuts/bolts holding the mani on and the gearbox mount and the 2 spring bolts that hold the mani and centre section together. What manifold you putting on and where is the cat on your car??

i managed to do mine quite easily get some ratchet spanners for putting aftermarket one on as there trickey with bolts. dont worry about the bolts when there unscrewing from block if they come out as they will go back i n fine. spray wd40 on manifold bolts night before and get your engine slightly warm not red hot . this will make it easier to get bolts out as they can snap in block sometimes. straight forward after that really just a swap like for like. i would reccommend getting a new exhaust clamping kit to fit manifold to exhaust under car from citroen as the 10 mm bolts are a ballache to refit

If your cat is under the car you won't need to touch the oil filter.

hour and 10 mins ish never done it before. car needs to be fair high jacked up or on ramps as you need to drop down manifold when its unbolted. be careful with the lamda sensor as there a pain to get off. same technique again spray plenty wd40 on nut and give it a slight tap with the hammer a couple of times on exhaust to free it up as they get mega tight
