You must remove the fuel injector pump which is the biggest part of the project. Really it wasn't too hard with the right tools. These gaskets are common to have a leak, mine was pretty severe (about 1 quart every 100 miles). It took me about 6 hours to get it off with a little help from a friend.

there are no ignition coils per say, there is an injector loom under the tappet cover that has connectors going to the injectors. to change that remove the plastic engine cover (3 bolts, 2 on left side 1 on the right). remove the hose from the top of the tappet cover it has a spring clamp. remove 8mm bolts on tappet cover, remove tappet cover and the injector loom is the long plastic harness on the right side. you will have to replace the gasket and seal the half moon at the rear with high temp silicone. sorry i was thinking TD5 engine. there are 4 bolts 8mm bolts attaching the coil to the rear of the engine, they are difficult to access. remove the leads from coil pack, you will have to remove the plenum chamber as well to manouver the coil out.
