Sealey AK5613M Impact Socket Set Metric 13pc 1/2 Drive 10 - 24mm With Case
Buy It NowI tried to undo mine recently, just to make sure they will crack off when the belt is next due to be done, but my long breaker bar and extension will not budge them, even with my big Dewalt impact gun they will not undo, probably due to lost energy in the bar and swivel adaptor.LEXIVON Premium Impact Universal Joint Socket Swivel Set | 3-Piece Ball Spring
I saw a youtube vid by MG Lee who has done a lot of refurbing on his TF and had the same problem. He got round the issue by buying a set of Lexivon impact swivel adaptors and using a proper impact rated socket on his impact gun. I have purchased a set and will try them out next time I have the engine cover off.
This is the ebay link to the impact rated swivel adaptors.
These should allow more energy from the rattle gun onto the bolt and help to shock it loose.
Here is a link to the impact sockets, I think the engine mount bolts are 18mm.
Good luck

Sounds like the door lock mech is faulty. The switches and motors can fail. One thing to look at, which prevented mine from locking is the small nylon bush on one of the link rods that holds the rod in place (cant remember if its the one in the door handle or not). This stops one of the switches from making properly and the door tries to lock, then unlocks again straight away. I used a small Meccano rubber bush to replace it with and its been fine since.

Refill the oil from the top of the cam cover on top of the engine, not by the top up filler thats next to the coolant header tank.

TF passed its MOT yesterday happily again no advisories, so in all my 6 years of owning the car, its always been advisory free. It pays to try to keep your pride and joy up to scratch!
