Thanks again for your reply.

Well my friend who altered the bolt was with me yesterday but when we went to start the car the battery was flat so I brought it in on charge overnight.

Started it today and there are no leaks from the bolt but the engine was only running at idle, because the reinforced pipe which is attached to the reinforced hose to the bit of remaining metal original pipe started leaking from under jubilee clip, so I need to get another jubilee clip which should stop the leak. It has never leaked before cutting the bolt though and I have ever only used 1 clip on it, maybe because it is tight all the way now that could be why because of the pressure ?

So although I have only had car at idle there are no leaks from the bolt, thank you for asking and I appreciate your help throughout and your patience.

I will give you an update tomorrow, meanwhile can you answer my question regarding which turbo pipe is the correct one for my 2006 mk2 ford focus sport 1.8 tdci. I am planning on buying a brand new one in a week or so and I want to ask if it is relatively easy to replace ?
I think the bottom bit attaches right near oil filter and I know where the top bit goes
