Halfords do a small ratchet spanner set with special Torx bits that fit snugly into the spanner. Remember the screws should be loctite'd so you'll need to crack them before they'll come loose.

well u werent joking about its fiddleness, had to drop my coolant, and still couldnt get into the tiny space to remove the little screws..... shall be popping into Halfords 2moz to buy some torx bits on allen keys to get into the tight gap!

hopefully this will solve my cutting out problem!
