tried 25mm?

That appears to say 25 * 5? or 25 + 5? Wondering if its 25mm with 5Nm? $:-\$

Looks very similar to the one fitted to the 12v Corsa B

I'll take a look @ SWMBOs when she gets home and see if it has anything stamped onto it.

It is much bigger than 25mm.... My largest Socket is 32mm and it is too small ... I guess around 36 or so

I believe that 36mm is the size

I'm pretty certain that's from the DTi. It looks very similar

36mm.

once you have sorted that I would suggest that you wax oil the rest of the car.
