You got all 6 back in?  I take my hat off to you.  ::)  After getting 5 back in and getting p*ssed of with the sixth (bottom right looking from front) i thought b*llox can't see that the last one is absolutely necessary!  No probs to date :y

Ah yes but I didn't say how many days, pints of beer or swearing it took!! The secret (if that is what it can be called) is to have a range of different length extn bars and fitments and loosely fasten it on with a bit of sticky tape.

thanks for all advice, now thoroughly scared at prospect of changing faulty unit. sounds like a big job. might leave it for a while until we get some better weather and i got plenty of spare time. might as well do cam cover gaskets at same time.

Used magnetic torx bars + mini ratchet - completed mine start to finish in a few hours.  Wasn't prepared to spend longer on last (unneccessary) bolt - anyway had back-ache as well!! ;)

not trying to hijack the thread but on the subject of TC faults, my 98 Omega will light the TC warning if i am a bit to eager with my right foot in the wet, sometimes it will just flash (think its supposed to) other times it will stay on till i restart.
ABS, speedo and cruise work just fine even when the light is on, any idea's ????

I got all six in too, and it was easier than taking them out, although still a pig of a job. Having the right tools is half the answer, and that takes a lot of thinking about. I hope I never have to do it again.
