although the worst bit of the job , I find is getting underneath the vx to get at the big banjo bolt for the oil drain , trying to get a big bar and leverage access . you might want to consider changing the oil feed pipe that runs around the sump for the vxr one , the originals I have had 2 fail and bad engine fire.[/quote

ok thanks my turbo drain is in pretty good nick. do they tend to fail on tbe slightly flexy part ?. The vxr one has a rubber section right ?

not the drain , the failure is on the supply hard pipe , it has only one securing bracket brazed on , the vxr one has two securing brackets
