Me again! There's a good reason I've been methodically replacing every bolt I remove with a brand new one when I work on this car...
This time it's the one of the two M6 (or maybe M8?) bolts on my 1.2 8v holding the coil pack in place, this one (pic not mine):
Head sheared off after recent work with next to no force. It's far too deep to weld anything to, and hammering a torx in failed - can't go any larger without destroying the thread. What's the next step here, just drill a bigger hole in the remaining bolt/thread and helicoil?
For once it isn't the most important bolt in existance as I can just replace the rocker cover if it comes to it, just a bit of a wind up!
Cheers!
