thanks ian, have got that, but bolts 7 and 10 have a water pipe running in front of them so cannot get a spanner on, the bracket looks like it has ruptured this pipe, but don't want to take it off in case i can't get a new one, its the pipe that has the dipstick bracket attached to it.
Thanks again Dave

Thanks for finding them ian, they don't look right, my van is an 87 but the engine is earlier 82-85 the pipe is solid and seems to go from the water pump and attaches to the block under the alternator, and has a bracket for the dipstick attached to it, if i can't find a new one i suppose i will have to go secondhand. thanks Dave.

Yep, pre-loved is the way if it's early system.
