Happy new year all,

I did an oil change before heading of on a 1500 km journey and found that my sump plug had been threaded.  Someone had obviously done the same thing in the past as it has a crappy after market sump plug.  I managed to get it torqued back on alright but permanently fixed it back in place with some fixing paste to avoid any worry over summer.  Car ran great and i managed to do 800km to a tank!

Now its time to replace the sump and gasket but i'm having trouble getting at two of the bolts which are squeezed up next to the gear box.  I can't find a tool that fits!
Anyone had this problem before??  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
