quick question!

Hi all,

During the holidays the van gave up and I had to get it towed back to Holland. Working on it on and off with my dad now when we have time (we'll soon be removing the pistons). I need to know what socket size is needed for the 12 sided nut on the connecting rod. Hope this question + picture makes it clear to you, it's what my dad sent me this morning

That's the outlet pipe on the oil pump, sorry I have't got a spare to measure but maybe someone who has done the job recently will remember.
Looks like you had a major failure if your stripping the engine down
If you or your dad needs any information there is a free download of the workshop manual on the main site. Click on Home at the top left of this page then click the link to 'Mechanical', there is a list of useful links down the right hand side of that page and one of them is the manual. Good luck

I mean the nut that's a bit more in the background. Like this one:

It's a bit dark in the picture.
A printed manual (the same one I think) came with the van, which has already made itself very useful ! Thanks!

Oops sorry
