Just got back from hockey, had to purchase a new 15/16" spanner, as apparently I didn't own one already (which surprised me).
Going to have a go at the drain tube now. With any luck she'll be running this afternoon.
Success.
I snapped my 15/16" trying to bend it. Ended up removing the front exhaust pipe and fitting a shifter on it. It undid very easily and was not very tight!

Yeah, they could of worked. I do have some, but not large enough (24mm/15/16").Quote:

Hello,
I used a 24mm ring cut a groove out and kept cutting the shaft till it fitted also think about changing your oil filter spin on.
Once it is all together looks like you will have to remove the turbo to remove the filter there is about 3mm below the bottom of the filter and the drain pipe. I haven't worked it out yet !!!!!!!

I can get my spin on oil filter on and off still with the VNT. I did a service after installing the VNT.Quote:
