Good Call, cheers

Halfords advanced shallow socket seems to be a 12 sided socket - i'll check out their impact sockets and see what they have.

I'm awaiting replacement bolts to replace the front strut assemblies - the assemblies came with drop links but no nut to secure them to the anti roll bar and i damaged the pinchbolt connecting the hub to the control arm balljoint
