Hi, I am a new Town Ace owner and am very impressed to see this site. I must admit I had hoped not to need it so soon, but, here goes.

I parked at the shops this morning and my Town Ace promptly dumped several litres of hot engine oil.

Later at the local garage we found that an oil pipe above the oil filter had cracked.

There is a largish oil line that bends around above the filter and appears to return oil to the sump, at its top end it terminates in a flange attached to the engine. From the same flange a small bore pipe seems to arrive from the turbo (?). Its that small pipe that broke and pumped the oil out.
The two pipes and the flange, and a mounting bracket all appear to be one part.

We managed to fit a piece of rubber hose and jubillee clips onto the two broken ends and get back running , but obviously I want to buy a replacement flange/pipe assembly.

Any ideas about parts numbers, suppliers, etc would be extremly welcome.
Thanks, Steve

15407-64040 (64041) - turbo oil inlet.
if i've understood your description correctly.
try toyota for a view on their computer, and or breakers. if you order from toyota don't forget to mention that the vehicle is of the road and can't be used. they will order it quicker at no extra charge.

The part number was spot on, arrived from Japan about 10 days later. Now fitted along with new timing and the 4 other belts so fingers crossed for a good few worry free miles :-)

Thanks Clive.
