Righto...i'm at the point where the turbo and radiator can be fitted but i wanna make sure about a couple of things first.

I'm under the impression that before i fit the oil feed to the turbo i'm gonna need to crank the engine by hand to get the oil to flow at that point so that the turbo isn't starved when first run.

Thing is i was underneath doing this today for about 10 mins and nowt came out...i was using a normal spanner cos you can't fit a ratchet and socket in there (which would be a hell of alot easier), so was having to turn a bit then reposition and then turn again.

Was doing this with the spark plugs out to make it a bit easier on me arm.

You could hear the air being squeezed out of the engine as it was being turned, but as i said there was nowt coming out of the oil feed.

Help please i'm feeling confused

you won't get oil to come out by turning the engine by hand, you'd be there for ever and the day. Pull the fuse pump fuse out, and take the multiplug off the back of the coil pack, and turn it over on the starter till the oil light goes out.
