Well, I have had a go at several things this week, lucky to have the time.

The studs arrived today (the type suggested by MGJohn with the allen key fitting), still waiting for the manifold to turbo gasket, but thought I would have a go at preparing everything and freeing things up.

I did manage to get to the stage where I had access to the exhaust manifold studs (1.8T) by moving the alternator. Each one of the three top turbo/manifold bolts started to round, no chance of shifting them.

I tightened everything up again, and may have to ask for professional help; well I had a go. Perhaps, it would be good to have a visit by a 75 knowledgeable professional, as I still cannot move the bush bolts on the other project vehicle - doh!
