And the valve body is out!!!
There is a big circlip on the electrical connection which meant i had to slightly modify my pliers to open wider, but success.
The valve body from the top
Different angle
And the gearbox sans valve, just for interest
It's worth noting that there are differences between this box and the others i've seen online. Particularly that sensor and the wiring. You don't need to disconnect speed sensors as I guess it is all in the one that is sticking out the valve body!
