I hate these ******* cars
 

After an over 600 mile round trip to collect an almost immaculate set of Black alcantara seats I get home 10 minutes ago and want to fit my new seats only to find that the newly purchased T50 bit which removed the bolts from a car that had been sitting outside for 3 years with ease is too big for the bolts in my car! why for gods sake why did the change the bolt size/pattern between a Mk 1 and a Mk2 to some stupid in between size that I of course don't have!

Ive poured time money and hours and hours of effort into bringing this car back and now all I want to do is pour petrol over it and light a match!

Well and truly NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- off with everything to do with these NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- cars!

Rant over

Its not that bad, its just a matter of buying a new bit. When you have one like my Bones, that's when you swear:p:

I had devil car Dawn, ask Trikey about it. That car was evil.

Ribe 8 or Torx 50 plus are the bits you need:cool:

Ribe 8 is what you need mate
Mick

Tell me about it lol! But your new problem will only cost you a couple of quid. All will be well. :)

I have a Ribe 8 you can borrow, that's if your coming over my way. But is a tad far to come over specially .

Hi all,

Thanks for the advice and offer of the bit LotusLC, wish Id known about the different bits I would have dropped in, Will halfrauds have the correct Ribe 8 bit?

But I still say why change it in the first place!

Because at the end of production they used whatever was in the parts bin:D If you're going to the Watermill meet tomorrow I'll fetch mine for you to borrow:cool:
