Hallelujah
Hello All,
If you have been following this saga, you will have noticed my growing frustration at not being able to dislodge the clip of the injector plug nearest the bulk-head without the extra work of removing the injector-rail. I was pondering this at work, had a bit of an epiphany and have sussed it out. In case you ever need to do this, I have put together a little 'how-to'.
Tools required:
A skinny screwdriver.
A vanity mirror (having a wife helps in this respect)
Two children with small hands (again, a wife helps in this respect)

Take the locking ring off the big round connector on the wiring box, and move it out the way. This can be tight. A slight tap with the screwdriver on one of the ridge-grips loosens it.

This gives you just enough room to slide the screwdriver to the clip. The problem is that you still cannot see it! This is where the kids come into their own (I knew they'd come in handy some day). Have one of them hold the mirror up against the bulk-head while the other shines the torch into the mirror illuminating the connector. Now fiddle around, takes a little getting used to working inversely through the mirror, but easier I think than taking off the injector rail.

Job done, and as Timm would say "Time for a cup of tea"; well, before carrying on with the rest of the job in better light anyway...
