Folks..
Lots of bolt heads on my Panda that I don't have sockets for in my toolset..

Going to get a set but not sure what they are called..

Three of this type shown by green arrows...

You need a female Torq socket, often called E Torq.

You should be able to get a set at a reasonable price that fits the ratchet/breaker bar you already have as they come in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch drives.
Like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E-Torx-Socket-Set-E22-E20-E18-E16-E14-E12-E11-E10-etc-/190455879853

You may also find the male Torq or Star headed bolts and screws around the car as well.
A set of Star bits are always handy.
These are usually quite small screws that hold trim etc.

If you want to buy locally, Machine Mart stock Male

and Female
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-pro372-14-piece/
Torx bits / sockets.
Note that on the engine there may be what look like recessed (female) Torx headed fastners, but are actually RIBE. Machine Mart sell bits for these too.

Bit dearer than ebay, but at least you can take them back if there is an issue. I have the MM ones with no issues.
