Personally id buy a blanking plate off flee bay (around £3) which bulges the joint tight, and makes the Engine run, perform and drink fuel better etc. Put one on mine, and its a far happier machine giving better turbo response, high 50's mpg and a cleaner ride. To begin with the Engine bay does seem to be a bit of a pig, but you learn to work round things, and the standard of your mechanics gets better. The main problem is the Engine is Angled to give better weight distribution (which Peugeot started in the 205 GTI era) and as the 306 was never designed to accommodate a large 2ltr lump in the first place, they basicley shoehorned it in.
Try taking a turbo off lol, and keeping the skin on your fingers. A good tip is don't always follow Haynes, and try to obtain certain Peugeot inhouse software, which tells you how to work round things. Plenty of help on here too :-)
