Now I am about to take manifold and turbo out and have the surfaces machined by a pro. But how the H... do you remove the metalpipe underneath the turbo

It is held in with 2x M6 bolts (M8 head) - but they can be a bit of a pain to get to. In the past I have done them from underneath, but will be harder if you still have the catalyst in place (rather than a Decat).
The other option is to unbolt the drain pipe from the block end, and leave it attached to the turbo - the block end is held in a basic clamp, but can be a bit tight to remove - as sealed with an O-ring. If you loosen the catalyst off (so unbolt the 4 mounting nuts to the turbo, undo the cat to engine block mountings and un-bolt from the rest of the exhaust) then you will give yourself a bit more room. Land Rover say to remove the four studs from the top of the Cat to allow more movement - but they have a habit of snapping. Once the turbo is off you can lift the Cat out from the engine bay if needed (can't remember if you still have to remove the gearbox crossmember). To get the manifold off, I found it easier to remove the plate that all the ancillaries bolt to... or you will be undoing the bolts at a funny angle - and they have a habit of being tight! I use uprated studs and proper high temp lock nuts when I refit the turbos - if you get stuck, I can send you three over. Torque wise - 10Nm for the oild drain pipe (must use new gasket), 35nm for the Banjo Bolt, 23Nm for the three turbo bolts.

 Thank you - I was hoping that there was an easier way - but I will crawl underneath - luckily it isnīt raining 
And thanks a lot for all the other information. If I manage to get the cat out - I donīt think it is going back in. Best regards Christian 88 Ser. 3 1980 -sold Puma 130 - 08- sold 90 200tdi 1991 - sold 88 Ser. 3 1977 200 TDI 110 CC 2003 |

Turbo and manifold is out
 BUT.... damn -the surface on the turbo going on the manifold is very bad - need to take at least 3 - 5 mm of in order to get it even - the guy doing it says he will not guarantee that it will last when taking so much of  Has anyone else experienced similar? It must have been very very warm in order to get so much out of shape.
