Is this the one you just bought?

Take it back and get them to fix it?

I think the 200+ mile round trip puts him off

Surely they serviced it before you collected though so, inconvenient as it is, there shouldn't be any mad rush Give them a chance to arrange something

Good point about the round trip (round .. heh)! I'm in no position to talk, anyway - bought all my cars locally and never tried to get the dealers to fix anything

Yep, if they can get a good grip they will turn just about anything like that.....

nah molegrips are better  and quicker

Depends on how ROUND the nut has become  Just making one flat will give more grip with the mollies

cheers guys for all the info. just quickly called halfords.... they cant search via my reg number and asked me to bring the bolt in so they could match it up........... did consider doing my oil change in their car park 

ill go to ford tomorrow

had the same problem on the wifes escort dont know if its the same but the sump plug on it had a plastic washer not the normal copper one, few mins with a small blow torch melted the washer just enougth to loosen the bolt might be the same.The new sump bolt was only few pounds from ford not worth re'using IMHP .
