ITS ER REET PAIN . . .[the sump guard] but follow destructions in the heinz manwell and all is revealed. . . .however a lot on here mod theirs for next time to make it easy ,this means drilling a big hole were the drain plug is ,so you dont have to undoo all the sump guard bits next time, if you diy on the td4 get a new sump drain bolt washer from dealers [dont fit cheap ****e] an do the oil filter at same time ,this is all an easy diy job. . . .un best oh luck earthling. . . . .

13mm bolts upto frt panel below radiator
2 x 13mm bolts on suspension arm either side
2 x 13mm bolts reet at back of guard

You take the lot off including the alloy framework
