Further to my rounded torx bolts, i have to confess that i was using the wrong size torx bit, i was using a T40 and when i used the T45 it worked fine.
Moral of the story is dont have a couple of beers before working on the car and make sure you have the correct size tool.
I feel silly but had to confess and thanks for the replys on the other thread

I would've still used the grinder to teach them a lesson for being the wrong size for your bit.

^^^^^
LMFAO!

you daft bugger!!! glad your sorted though.

It's a common mistake with Torx bolts, I've seen one size too small used a lot (& indeed done it myself!). They fit far better than one size to big a spanner would on a conventional bolt.
