Bending a pipe
I want to bend back the end of my turbo drain pipe so that it doesn't kink at the end i.e. it goes straight on.
Any suggestions as to the best way to do it. It's 18mm o.d. and steel if it makes a difference.

+ lots of heat and a longish bit of tightly fitting pipe stuck down the end to use as a lever.
Thats how i'd do it anyway!

Cut the kink off and use a longer piece of hose for the drain.
