PS: it's a 1.6 tdci
Hi I'm a Ford master tech for my sins.

Not bad to do. But thats from my pesrspective.
You need to remove the inlet manifold which is also the cam cover . You then need to replace the injecter pipe. As they carry up to 1600 bar.
If its carboned up getting the injecter out can ne a pain. As is cleaning for new washer to seat. We have the tools to do it.

Some on here will say do it. My advice use a good dealer or specialist. Featherstone diesel I know of near you are good
