Chris Rose had this to say:
>Hi all

>Many thanks to everyone who suggested ways for removing the broken bolt from

>with
>WD40, drilling the top of the bolt and insterting an easy out, then heating
>the whole lot with a blow torch!
>
>End result. Bolt was removed at the very first attempt with absolutely no
>force needed!
>
>I found that my replacement bolt was too short and so had a bit of a rush to
>the shops Sunday to try and find a replacement, without any luck. As a last
>thought, I drove past a Kwik Fit and stopped and asked in there......and was
>given, for free, TWO replacement bolts, one of which fitted perfectly and so
>the car is now back running again!!! :)

>Unfortunately, due to recent building work, about a ton of rubble
>prevented me
>being able to get the car out of my mates garage for a drive, but I am back
>for a wedding in a couple of weeks and if the weather is good I'll be taking

>Thanks to everyone who offered advice, very much appreciated, and all very
>good advice too :)
