ISTR, on a Mini at least, the head needs to come off if you're not

You can remove the water pump to change it. Up to you whether that is
more fiddly on a Mini.

You can drop the whole front subframe (or rather leave it in place, and
lift the body off) for better access to the fiddly bits of a Mini. But
there's loads of space to get at everything on a Moggy Minor.
