I'm told there is a Company or Companies that are mobile stud drillers !!!!
I know for a fact that some VX dealerships use them, but its just finding out who there are !!!

Might be and idea if you can identify them, for a small cost, you get a job thats done right, if the fluuk it up, you just sue the arse of of them  ;D

I like the sound of that shall have to do some research  ;D :y

Hey Nixoro , it might be an idea to check out SCREWFIX they sell loads of good stuff and may well have a right-angled drill for not too much dosh . You can find them on the net and if your order is over 45 quid they deliver the next day for free!! :y Use them a lot for building stuff but they've got an automotive section as well which sells some good stuff .

Hi Nixoro
I am watching this with great interest as my 2.2 CDX has a broken stud (front lower) and it is also flush with the head :'(.  I only know this because I found the broken bit in the bottom of the engine bay when giving it its first good clean. At the moment its not leaking  as far as I can guage but its only a matter of time.....I have researched this  alot on the net and it seems you are either lucky and its easy to get out by tapping the remaining part round and out with a very fine centre punch or you are unlucky and have to rely on some fairly drastic drilling or welding measures.  Mobile stud drillers really does seem the easy way out , if you find one please let me know .Other than that all the best and I hope you are lucky with it. :y

I haven't seen this type of adaptor before the only ones I managed to find on the screwfix site were the snake type one that attach to the end of the drill.

Machine Mart do a cheaper one, see page 283 of their latest catalogue - £17.61 (inc VAT).

Won't display off their web site as it's a new addition.
