yeah it came out ok on this block, for some reason my 17mm spanner kept trying to round the nut off so resorted to an adjustable wrench and it came out fine, probably something to do with the awkward sizes of oil line fittings, looks like 17mm but its a tiny bit smaller maybe.
can't see in the picture, but I wrapped the line in heat shield where it passes by the manifold and downpipe, on the original line I think it may have been boiled by the turbo when it was stood still after a run as the line was brittle and snapped when I was removing it from the bianca, which reminds me I need to buy some more to wrap the brake lines on the bulkhead.
shame I was running so late yesterday as you could have had a look in person
