Title: Is it all there
Post by: tooleater on 08 September 2013, 18:14:12
Yesterday finally managed to get the Oil + filters changed at a local garage, £25 :y I now accept that Ive got to get under the bonnet, so Ive bought Halfords 170 piece Professional socket set, on special at £124 is everything I need to change the Thermostat in this kit.

You'll need some general purpose tools as well, such as screwdrivers, pliers etc.

You may find the top coolant hose a problem without special tools, but I've always just used pliers and molegrips.
