Starting to remove whats left of the Sri interior and then put in the Gsi interior I picked up from Paul last week... problem though, I can not get the bloody bolts that hold the front seats in, undone?
What are the correct tools (ie sizes) of the \'bits\' needed to remove both bolts?
Mark/Paul I know you mentioned it last week to me but I have completely forgotten!

I wouldn\'t ask broster - he\'ll change your seats and you\'d end up with your tracking completely out!

ps Broster if you read this. Your MOT is arranged. Check out your PM\'s on MKCruise

mark, cheers! i pm\'d you back with a little question!
regarding the seats, you need a torx bit, make sure you soak the bolts in wd40 first aswell, from under the car! cant remember the exact torx size...... i have the right one here with a 30\" breaker bar, makes removing them a doddle!

Managed to remove all bolts.. apart from one which was already rounded.. had to snap off the top of the bolt and am drilling out the remainder of it tommorrow! Didn\'t realise that Vauxhall used \'locktite\' on them either! Made them a bugger to remove.. even with the right tools!
