Great! Had seen this before! Removing the a/c compressor sounds a bit tricky, is that torq at the back hard to get at?D5RSR said:I used this as a guide:

It's accurate and well written, thanks to the author.
I managed it with the drivers rear jacked up on a stand. I could wriggle under to remove the under tray (4 torx bolts) and then get to the connection box.
It's not difficult just a bit awkward getting alternator in and out, the rear bolt of the air compressor and working out the plastic clips. I ended up breaking them off as new ones come on new cable.
Order a new serp belt while your at it (£17 for a Conti Belt off carparts4less)
Cheers
Darren.

Not really difficult, just a bit of guess work.
Mines all back together now, just waiting for the new serp belt to arrive.
