Not using Haynes, downloaded the service manual for free Thanks a lot, my friend is a car mechanic and has offered to lend me anything I need. He just wants to know what I need.

Mr Fro Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Pretty much a 3/8" metric rail will do you (8mm - 22mm), spanners of the same sizes, set of hex keys/bits, maybe some torx bits, extending magnetic thingy, large adjustable spanners...
