Hi I am back again the one thing that has helped is I downloaded a copy of the 2.5/2.8crd, 2.4/3.3 manual. Without stripping out a lot of engine you need to go from the top and the bottom of the engine. I gradually removed the pipework until I could see the exhaust manifold heatshield there are 4 x 10 bolts on the top and two horizontally which are also for the engine lifting bracket. I wish I had an induction heater for loosening them [This is a project I am currently working on an economic induction heater]. When you remove the shield you can see the turbo properly there are 3 studs no 12 horizontally from the exhaust pipe and there are 4studs no 10 vertically from the exhaust mcd anifold you can only get at 2 from the top. There is a jubilee clip that you need to release to remove the silicon hose for the turbo. And there is also a No 13 on the oil pipe on top. I noticed that there was not a jubilee clip on the air inlet pipe strange? . Now comes the fun to get at the bottom of the turbo last 2 no 10 and also the oil inlet pipe you have to go underneath! Too remove the steel plate there are 8 x no 21 nut and bolts, 4 x no 15 1x 18 and 3x no 13 you also need to spray some free release on to the threads of the 2 x 21 Rubber isolated mounts to chassis ,if you crawl underneath and look up above the bolt in the chassis is an access point so you can spray the thread. My luck one of the bolts snapped so I am going to hacksaw the bolt out and make a new bolt. You can now go up with a long extention and remove the 2 nuts that is my job today. I will try to get some photos up as the next job will be the timing belt. Out of interest has anyone fitted a 4x cam cctv and reversing system?
