Its alright I figured it out. The other end of hose that connects to the solenoid, connects, right underneath the Turbo (unless im totally wrong). Thanks took the car out for 10mins and felt a big difference. The cars been feeling slow lately and this just brought it back to life. Thanks once again

try twisting the hose, but make sure you do not break the plastic tube.

If you grip the hose and twist and pull it should come off.

When I did mine I removed the solenoid and its little mounting plate from the chasis.

It was only connected by one screw that I needed a massive screwdriver or ratchet extension to remove it - made life much easier then I got to remove the clamp and hose from a much more accessable position.

thanks for the tips. All helped me get the job done.

problem was the clamp was so tight that the hose was sort of stuck to the plastic. Weird I know but got it off with a bit of twisting. Just didn't want to break anything
