There a web site somewhere that rates torque wrenchs and surprisingly the Halfords ones come out top.
and no its not a Halfords web site

Cheers mate. I've been looking at them but at £40+ just for this one job is hard to swallow - I'm probably being tight!

if you can blag it next time your in halfords ask about their "trade card" scheme, i managed to get one with my NVQ from my last job but the bloke didn't seem bothered by their conditions.

worth an ask and if anyones in or near milton keynes drop me a line and you can use my card!

Would you say that applies to the top mounts too?

As far as I know, as long as they are standard bolts (which I believe they are) then it should be fine.

Is it simple to tell if a bolt is a stretch bolt?

I did try ordering from my local Seat dealer, unfortunately its a Kinghams! So I think I'll have to travel a bit further! Thanks for all your advise, appreciate it.
