Hi I've tackled harder jobs than this on cars so I'm sure I'll get it fixed without cutting the can up.

Hi and thanks for your interest/reply. Found an old reply to this problem, tried it and success the bumper is off.
8 nuts in the boot that hold the bolts holding the cans to the car, pull the top of the bumper out and down then you have enough access to the bolts to fit a spanner (10mm) then a 13mm socket on the nuts in the boot undo,
job done. Regards Glyn.

Code:
  I've tried to remove the rear bumper on my car, but despite plenty of plus gas sprayed and left for days then wire brushing the exposed thread,
         the usual thing has happened the bolts turn but twist the arm.   Now I cant get anything in to cut through the bolts.  Any ideas/suggestions on how I might 
        overcome the problem would be welcome.    Many thanks.  Glyn.

I've taken mine out to feed cold air pipe from the N/S engine vent, but first I will clean and paint suspension support and other bits in that area. Yes I was surprised at the amount of room in that area.

Hi Airportable has given the correct info on how to remove airbox apart from the fact that there are two tap tight fixings. Glyn.

The TF VVC 160 was fitted with 304 mm discs and 4 pot callipers and 16 inch wheels,
mine has the 11 spoke 16 inch wheels and only the 11 spoke Trophy & TF160 design
will fit over the 304 discs with 4pot callipers, that's what I'm led to understand.
Thanks Glyn.

Hi yes the 16 inch wheel is a standard size spare for a TF with 16 inch wheels.
Some were yellow and some black and I understand that they are the same part/casting number as a standard 16 inch. Glyn.

Hi so do I take it from your answer that I should stick with the sealant and pump or have I miss read it?
As the car is still new to me I take it that because my callipers are red they are 4 pot on the front, yes?
Thanks Glyn.

Looking to change from sealant and pump to a spare wheel,  so my question is what size tyre would be required for it to be used on all wheels
I understand it would also have to be a multidirectional tyre.  (16 inch wheel)  Thanks  Glyn.
