Well i bought my first hippo last november and i've been slowly working my way through the usual problems, anyway the next task to do is to replace the lower sump gasket due to a small oil leak. The problem is after inspecting the bolts some if not all are clearly rounded off, so i could do with know what the bolt specs are so i can track some down thank.

yu have gotta be joking

I went into my local stealer for a 200tdi dust seal and 9 bolts........

Dust seal at 10.23 and the bolts "only sold in packets of 20" - 5 different sizes at a squid each.... they expected me to pay £100 for bolts ffs.
went to local indi,- dust seal at £2.17 and 9 bolts about a quid each - £20 cvered the lot and a tube of Hylomar

yu have been warned

ok thanks lads, was hoping to avoid using a stealer or indi and order straight of the net, but looks like i'll have to get a few quotes, will let you know how i get on for price.
