I'm properly stuck now.. the hard to get to bolt that holds the ball joint in place is knackered. I'm at a loss what to do

I'ma hold off, been pointed out my fuel temp is way out, so gonna change that before I touch anything else, as the pump thinks the fuel is way colder than it should be.

A, drop the fame,
B, cut the bolt after checking it can be put back in from the other side

Can't see how you'd cut it. but then you'd next need to drill and wind an extractor in. But you can't really get to it and it's not square onIf the bolt won't come out as you expect you mave to..

I think I'm getting out of my depth on this one..

Does the bolt move?
Get in there with a grinder or a reciprocating saw.
Pull the arm out completely and then renew the bits your focused on.

One of the bolts that holds the ball joint in place
If you grind the head off then you'll never get the rest of the bolt out.. in my opinion.. but then i don't have the best imagination
Is the fuel quantity not low as a 90 year olds ball sack? Or is it likely to balance out a little after a new temp sensor?

I don't suppose you've got a couple of pictures have you my good man. There may be some sacrifice to be had..

That is my understanding too, based on looking at RAVE the fuel temp sensor is under the top cover of the FIP and a new one is about £20 and looks an easy replacement.

Don't remember having that problem when I did mine. If you raise the suspension does it give you enough clearance? Assuming it's part of the body that's in the way.
