I assume you mean at the top? It shares tge "B.stard Bolt" with the transfer pipe from the thermostat and the engine lifting bracket

cheers guys and massive thanks again to the mad mechanic 

yeah got a bit lucky with the dipstick..... put it in roughly where I thought it should go, gave it a wiggle and it went in the hole  bit of bashing with a hammer on a block of wood to get it in..... job done 

its soooo very nearly done. got to get the aux belt tensioner off as I think the front cambelt cover needs replacing as its rubbing against the tensioner.... think it got warped when it got hot. lucky I have a spare 

so...... downpipe bolts. then all the bits at the front. and its ready to start

not really sure.  iirc martin got it out using brute force as, if im honest, I don't have a lot of strength 

what have you tried?

martin got the thing out.... but I must take the credit for putting it back  i'm not going to say it was luck..... just used common sense

You've only had 1 go. I've proved myself to be a failure twice

Even after we loosened it
