just been reading warrens fitting guide and it doesnt look like something i could do
if i went at it i'd probably do it but i dont want to start it and never finish.
his guide goes on about brake servo hoses. do i need to fit new ones?
if i remove them is there gonna be fluid coming out?
might just send it to the garage to be safe

I done mine myself and I'm not a competant/trained grease monkey.
I found it quite fun and interesting to do. I done it over a few evenings, which was ideal as I never needed the car so could take my time.
Warrens guide is good, I used that and read from Haynes manual to help identify stuff etc.
Its not mega hard.

no fluid will leak out as its the vacume assisted servo pipe that needs a slight mod

If you take it in to someone like a Pirtek, or any other hydraulic hose company will be able to help.
Don't worry if you've got the tools you can do anything

its easy mate...
ive got some good pics from when i fitted mine in my old project thread. pics of it start on page 5. might be worth a look to help you identify things and see what things look like in bits? just make sure you get a good seal and no air leaks around the base of it!
heres the link:

In the guide it says use a cav td pipe on the throttle body, I got one from the scrap yard this week, but the i.d on the pipe is bigger for the TB, also it doesn't have a hole for the air temp sensor
