My first post from Oz!

Trying to replace the rotor filter on my 2000 td5 but the 10mm bolt closest to the a/c is rounded off and socket wont grip. Any else had this problem and managed to solve it?

Hi

Try taping (gently) a 9mm bi-hex socket on top of the bolthead it should cut its own grooves then remove as normal.

you want a set of rounded nut removal sockets. A must for any landy owner.

Thanks for your help. Will try the 9mm and 3/8 solutions.
