Hi Peter lee

Welcome to the forums.

I believe the way to get to the back to bolts is to remove an access plate that is on the bulk head just in front of the ECU; this should give you the room to get to the bolts.

Peter read this post section 3

using an 8 mm socket remove the 2 bolts holding the access plate onto the face of the bulkhead. Pull it forward slightly towards the engine and lift upwards, releasing the rubber bung that secures the wiring harness.

Peter,

see this pic as it shows you what you need to remove (in the pic the manifold is already off):

1. the rubber trim along the top of the engine bulkhead

2. unclip the sound proofing on the bulkhead panel

3. remove the panel in the bulkhead

This then gives you the room you need to get at those pesky bolts. Be careful to ensure you are trying the correct bolts - it's too easy to be working on the other, plug related bolts
