Once the plenum is off. You can replace the hose in question and the plugs.

I got the same with the hose, do you have a loud scraping in your engine?

why would their be a loud scraping coming from the engine???

Can this be done when replacing the spark plugs as the intake manifold will be off or atleast lifted up for this?

Use this link for your needs.

I just removed the elbow and flipped it up the other way. The crack is now further down which causes it not to separate.

this rubber elbow on mine was cracked also so i went to bursons and bought a rubber water hose in this size called a zed hose and i got two elbows out of it for around twelve dollars two years ago working fine supercheap also have this hose.

Well i was too late and already paid for a brand new hose from holden...its only relatively small in length.

Rather than paying a further $100 for some mechanic to swap them over, how could i go about replacing the whole hose?

Can i just remove the engine cover and will it allow me to get to the hose completely? Or will i need to remove the intake manifold aswell (as iirc the hose goes around to the back of the motor to the solenoid?

To replace the complete hose you will at least need to lift the plenum or plenum/manifold assembly. However the hose looks to be made of a fairly durable material. So the may be unnecessary.

See above link. Or just replace the rubber elbow only.
