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

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!
