There is a sticky at the top - follow the one that involves removing the upper intake plenum. And/or read the RAVE manual instructions. There's no magic to it, they're tough to get at. Good luck!

This is my on going project right now relocating the coils since I have the SAI which very difficult to get through the coils.

I moved the coil packs in front for easy access.

I'm planning on doing my plug wires one of these days, but I'm going to pull the upper intake. That way I can check the tightness of the lower intake bolts and the inner valve cover bolts.

I'd solder them. Heat shrink tubing...but that's just me.

Its a bit touchy subject if I have to go to that area especially in the opinons in forums but I never had to bleed my discos and never had problems with cooling. My other disco, I got when it was new 03, when the Tee disintegrated with age, this was the only thing I found in Home Depot as a replacement and still never had to bleed my trucks. Though its easy to add a needle valve on top, but thats another part that might leak in time. Add coolant when in the morning if low or if your coolant constantly leaks. Pressure will slightly escape once you open the cap and top it off if needed. I never elevated the front to do it as well. All I can say that it works for me and for some, they have a different way. Another mystery, both trucks had dead auxiliary fan. Frozen and stuck. I dont even have a clue when that thing died. Might be recent or might be years. Anyway, no bleeder, no problem in my case. Cheers

I'm waiting for the last connector I ordered. I'm just hoping it fits. I want to make it plug and play. If not, I'll extend wires and solder. Still hoping it will fit. I ordered a bunch doing trial and error with that 3 male pin connector, firewall side. Anyways, all are going as planned. thanks Jason
