Hi to all.
Hi to all.
Just joined as i bought a 2006 1.6 allure, so i have something in the garage to keep me busy. Lot of work already done, including fitting a reconditioned axle, which was a pig of a job thanks to the stupid (in my opinion) torque headed bolts. Live in County Durham, retired, spent my entire working life as an electrician. Lived in South Africa for nearly 40 years. Returned to the UK after i retired. I see already there is a lot of information here to help me. Thanks to all for your contributions which i will make full use of.

Hi Ronnie,
Yes, you are not the first to curse those torx bolts.
Whereabouts in SA did you live? I lived in Cape Town for 13 years.

Hi IanL,
Lived most of the time in Jhb area. Had a 21 acre small holding for 18 years until the problems started, then moved to Florida Glen Roodepoort. After i retired moved to the coast south of Durban. Now in county Durham where the houses are still cheap. South African Rands worth next to nothing.
