The engine is right behind you so you must get to it from the top.
You open the roof until it's about 10" out. open up the long leather pouch sitting behind the seats and undo the little plastic tigh-down (1/4 turn).
Then you get out of the car and look into the area at the base of the soft top. there you will see some lining attached to a plastic rail that is clipped to the car. Unclip it, then un-hook the 2 tension cables that are located on each side, from the soft top to the body of the car. the top can now be pushed up towards the seats to uncover the carpet cover. Twist the 4 masssive plastic clips and lift up the carpet. then twist and turn all the brass-colored screws holding the plastic cover and remove it. Voila! the engine bay and one 2.5l engine.
There are how-to's with pics somewhere on the net (seen it)
good luck with the cryptic intructions. I hope it helps!
