Hi all,

Thanks all for the advice, much welcomed.

The bolt has been removed!

I had to take to a friend's garage for him to weld a remove it! So no recorded details apart from picture of the offending article 🤬
Even asking him to remove it! It took 2 hours!?!?!

Lesson learned for the next one on the driver side in the next couple of weeks?

If all goes well for the next one! Job should only take about 3 hours!

That's also with new nuts and bolts for Damper/caliper carrier/brake caliper and brake guide pins ready to go.

I'm also aware that this job was for FL Td4 on Discovery forum!

But! A bolt is a bolt is a bolt? As we are all fully aware Nuts and Bolts on Land Rovers are a nightmare.

Again, thanks all who posted advise.

Kev

Your mate sacrificed a socket for the cause, a man after my own heart.
