Struggling removing bumper
Guys
This is a job I've completed easily a number of times on previous Rovers however my latest one has me stumped even before I start. The lower screw under the wheel arch is proving extremely difficult to remove, it appears to be a torx screwhead , but I've tried both T10 (too small) and T15 screwdriver (too big) without success. Both sides are the same I've also tried a few hex keys again with nothing fitting correctly. Finally I've tried to fit a posidrive but again with no joy. So..is there a specific size and type bit for these if not what are the options? Cheers Paul |

All Phillips on mine You may have to drill it out if it's rounded off.

A pair of mole grips on the head to start it off may help if there's enough head to get hold of. Gentle back and forth until it frees.

Cut a slot in the head with a hacksaw, dremel or similar and use a flat screwdriver.

On my cdt they are 10mm hex head with a pozidrive in the middle so a 3/8" (or 1/4") drive 10mm socket will do them. On the 1.8T they don't exist... Doesn't seem that they actually do a lot in practice.

There are some cross head screws in the alternator, which are neither!
