Access

Well, even though I could not believe it, the screws holding the seats into the chassis ARE a T35 head.
I have been having a lot of problems recently with not having the tools I need for the job, and sadly this isn't a one off either.
Last year to gain access I needed a T26 for one of the bolts under the front bumper. Luckily I got away with using pliers and removing it, all be it, painfully slow.
Why not sell the Torx as one big set instead of only a select few and the rest being classed as "specialist tools"?
Damn right I'm pissed off.
I start a job "darn I don't have that tool" start another job and "I don't have that tool either" and quite frankly it's now starting to take the piss a bit.

However, on other news I do have some great news!
I had been alerted to some scrap yards in Bicester, Banbury or somewhere over that way (at least 2 buses away from where I live). Last night I found out that we have one here in my very town, how amazing is that? I suddenly don't want to move house. Lol.
Currently they do not have any 406's and I need to check the compatibilities between a D8 and D9 model, I am sure that some parts are generic I.e made for ALL 406's but many will not be. Different engines = different parts, connectors etc. My car, on the whole is just that, whole.
However I do want a rear rubber (ha ha!) for the roof, I only noticed I was missing it last week. It's the N/S rubber seal that's on the roof rail. I could just so with "nosing" to see if other 406's have anything I fancy lol.

So back to the job in hand:
Seat now disconnected from the chassis and when my neighbour kindly fcks off I can get the door fully open to get properly in there.

Job 2: wheels (ABS) waiting on 3/8 drive extension bars and a 3/8 drive 19mm socket.

There are pictures of my new phone case, the T35 and my victory with the T35 screw removed :-)

Take care
