Coolant leak

[Blackie_No1]

The sexy SXi has developed a coolant leak this morning

I had parked up after leaving the boys to school/nursery and noticed steam coming from the bonnet. When I lifted the bonnet the steam appeared to be coming from the timing chain end of the engine so I suspect the timing chain gasket has gone

Anyone done theirs on a 1.2 16v lump?

[Blackie_No1]

Well, ordered the gasket and the cam locking kit, should be here tomorrow, so I'll get tore in then

[Blackie_No1]

Anyone give any hints as to how to get at the three bolts on the right hand engine mount?? Can't get at the top one!!

Can you not get a spanner on it? Tbh I can't even remember what the mounts look like atm

[Blackie_No1]

No the bolt is a reverse torx type that is sunk into the mount bracket. There's no clearance to get the right socket and extension on it due to it being do close to the chassis leg

What size is the torque cus i no ya can get torque Allen keys if they wud help

[Blackie_No1]

No it's reverse torx, like this:
