now the bolt on the drive belt pulley is a female torx size 20 iirc
went to lookers to get the bolt 
asked did they do a tool for it "no" 
ok off to halfords
sorry we dont do them in that size 
so im thinking i hae a bolt that no fucker has a socket for
well this is good
come on the internet to www.draper.co.uk
and £6 later
taa daa one socket
stupid, shops dont sell the simple things anymore
i mean i was after some simple hose conectors the other day and only 1 motor place out of 6 in my area had them
just my 2p's worth

cant be that professioal when they dont have a fucking socket to change the bolt for the drivebelt

Yup, more than likely, Halfords do stock a reasonable range of tools and can get all Teng stuff to order, odds are you got a lazy shop assistant who wasn't in the helpful mood.
A good local ironmonger/tool shop would have been able to get one for you aswell.

have you noticed that Halfords is usually close to McDonald's. Thats cos its staff are really Mucky D's. They just double up.

Have a look at machinemart.co.uk or something - get their catalogue as its quite good, either that or email Draper for a catalogue and mail order tools. You often get them cheaper

Yeah halfords do stock the socket your after, but you have to buy the complete set, dont think they do tthem separately......forget about asking anyone there as they never really know their arse from their elbow, i usually end up helping other customers when im in there......and i have never worked there!

I bought the set to do this job (yes, you can't buy the single correct one) in Halfords the other day.
I already had one and didn't know it, but that is a different story.

You might as well buy a set anyway if you intending doing a lot of work on your car. Plus sets are 99% cheaper than buying the parts seperately
