What a week! Indicators/hazords stopped working and snapped the two bolts for the top engine steedy in the block! :( I wouldn't mind but I only replaced the bushings so that wouldn't happen!

After checking all the fuses I could not seem to find any blown, but with a trip down to Keith he found one and sorted the problem :D I guess he had the magic touch! :lol: Thanks Keith.

So with the indicators sorted I went home to do something with engine steedy and after a bit of time I got one of them out... The other I have no hope with but its temperarally fixed! :mrgreen:

Drill the stud that is left in the block and beat in a Torx bit then unscrew with a suitably sized socket.
