Eh?

Oil and water are banjo bolts.. if not there are rubber hoses that pull off the fittings on the head..

the bolt on part that i was trying to remove in the 1st place had to be transferd to the new turbo

the holes did not align up so i had to persuade them with a big drill bit

once that was sorted i then tried to fit it and push down, which had the black rubber pipe simply slideing down the other metal tube meaning it wouldnt go on

took me fooken ages with a whole manner of mole grips and lobster claws all mangled together to get the pipe to slide over the edge of the metal pipe

I found the best way (for me)is to secure the oil return rubber hose with a jubilee clip on the hose at the turbo end, fit the wire clip to the bottom of the hose and then when fitting the turbo on to the manifold the rubber hose goes on easier to the oil drain return pipe.
