Seriously, where the hell am I supposed to get one from?

Halfords only do upto an E16 and even then its on a 3/8" drive... Local factors are useless (dont have a clue), and generally everywhere else is either a frikin takeaway or polish food shop

Getting royally pissed off... all because of 1 bastarding crank pulley bolt...
