Hi guys! First post for me, a mechanical noob ... I was going to remove my header tank bracket on my vx220 turbo to remove the rust and give some new paint. But I have problem figuring out how to remove the big black and orange electronic connector. Can someone give me a pointer?

it should unclip and slide off

The unclipping part is where I'm getting confused. How the heck does it unclip?

It's held in a groove/cut out and just pushes straight down, however I can't remember how it's actually held in place in the groove.  Mine is secured at the top with a cable tie so I must not have been satisfied with how it's held when I put it back after painting my tank bracket.  I would say it's quite a help to remove the rear wheel and wheel arch liner to allow you easy access to pinch the push through holders on the loom connecters in there.

Thanks guys. A screwdriver, a hammer and some mild violence did the trick.
