After finding an Exhaust turbine in my Cat converter I am currently removing the turbos.. Have it down to the oil lines, the prob I have is that the line that runs above the manifolds from front to back (rubber line at the front, into metal, then to the centre junction, then onto the bach of the motor) where there is a Banjo fitting into a block, the nut for the Banjo fitting is not coming loose and is very close to having a good tube spanner start to round it off. So my question is do I need to remove the block it goes into any way, and where does the other end of that line end up, because I am buggered if I can find it... I have has a look through DIYs etc, and have attempted to search, but it came up with an error, and the error was written in french...

It sounds like you're talking about coolant lines, not oil. Photos please. If its that really big one in the center near the cam cover, then yes its a bitch because its hard to hold still, and if you dont you bend the tubes either side. I would use a large socket rather than a tube spanner. I cant recall if you have to undo that big one, but you do need to undo the two flare nuts along the same tubes to right to remove the lot. I had flare nut spanners and still couldnt undo them - they just rounded off, so i cut the tubes close to the flare nut so i could get a socket on them, and therefore had to buy new tubes to replace them. Good luck.

Yeah, bad description on my behalf, it is the flare nut on the right (Back) that I am struggling with, the big one in the centre will def be a socket job if it needs to come undone, so far does seem to be mainly coolant coming out of the hoses, think it might be time to break out the tin snips and cut the hose... Thanks heaps for the help, was close to cutting but thought I better ask here first...

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
