    Hi Folks,

    Well I've finally got hold of the parts to retro fit cruise control and went to do it this afternoon. I was stumped straight away as I only have torx sockets which wont fit up into the lower cowl. It seems I need a long reach torx screwdriver so can some knowledgeable soul please tell me what size the two torx screws are so I can go buy one? Oh and are they normal torx or the security type with the pin in the middle?

    Cheers, Chaser...

    Already tried that one, T8 is soooooo small though, can't get anything in. It's just a bit frustrating, I'll get the ********* one if I have to and cut the handle back a bit.
    Thanks again..
