A couple of my core plugs are non existent, the one on the driver side closest to the turbo has been replaced, only to find that another core plug is missing. So it seems i have to remove the turbo and manifold but without snapping a nut! I'm hoping it's just one more core plug and that's it no more water leaks! Too many have been corrected over the last month to no avail!
Any hints and tips would be much appreciated
Regards
Harry

clean the ends of the studs up as you get a few threads from the end then you start to wind the stud out!
