Made a start
Ha Ha, well thanks anyway Swiss, I am normally the same re what I will and wont do but the garage has already taken too much money off me on this bomb.
So, the next bit is for those that get right into the guts of these things... working from the top, I have removed the filter box, stabilizer bar and now have removed the five studs that hold the heatshield in place (very fidly) Going across the top of the heatshield from Left to right is a metal pipe which carries coolant from its tank to a point just above the turbo on the right. This has a very tight and large hex stud holding it in position. If I can undo this l should be able to lift it clear of the heatshield as it has a flexable piece of rubber hose at the other end, which hopefully will give enough slack to bend it out and up and thus stop any flow of coolant too.
I just have to find the right tool that I can give enough purchase on it with to actually loosen it.
