    Socket Set

    I need a socket set that will cover pretty much the whole 5 and an f7p engine. iv got about £100 to spend on one. iv found this one on halfords, http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...k&iozone=PLPz1 just wondering whether this would do or could anybody else recommend a better / cheaper one

    or there is this one from B&Q where i can use my friends discount card which i think is 20% so £80, seems pretty good http://www.diy.com/search/socket%20s...t-Set-11227742

    what are the main sizes i need and are there any other tools i could do with

    Cheers folks

    Re: Socket Set

    I baught a 91 bit set and thats done everything so far as long as the sockets go from 7.5mm (jubalee clips) to 32mm (for lowering the torsion bar) everything inbetween is great.. Is the steel hardness you want so they are not made of chocolate or you end up buying more sets.

    Re: Socket Set

    Hey what deals do you do on rachet spanners that's the one thing I do need.. Or even a 10mm and a 13mm.. Putting the turbo bolts on breaks me every time..
