Stripping out the turbo in a 03 plate td4, just need now to remove the 3 bolts that hold the turbo to the exhaust manifold. Does any one know what size and type of bolt head they as look like a splined male end and not a torque head. As now scratching my head unable to remove turbo,
help please

Thanks Chaser, but not the correct type, I have a full set of them.
Done a bit of digging and now find they are a muli splined 12 point head.
Trust L/R as the only bolt on the car that has that type of fitting, good news is rung a contact at a local indendant and borrowing their socket tommorow. So will be back on road by weekend.

ahh ok sorry, just assumed they would be e socket type as used elsewhere on the freelander.

12 point internal i've come across but not 12 point external, as they say you live and learn......
