Title: Plastic Nappy
Post by: Two's Company on May 14, 2005, 15:07
Does anyone know what size the bolts are that hold on the rear nappy?  One of mine has gone missing.

Cheers

I only remember it needs a 10mm key  s8) 8) s8)

Both bolts are same, so just take the other off and measure it or take it with you to nearest "bolt store".

Mine has two bolts, three screws and one plastic clip. The three that hold them to the rear bumper do have a 10mm end and might look like bolts before you take them off, but they are screws.

I finally found the time/weather to look at this at the weekend;

At the last service Mr T told me there was a bolt missing which they replaced.  When I got home I noticed the plastics 'hanging down' at one side, had a quick look and they had put a cable tie around the two 'nappies' which I assumed was because they didn't have the right sized bolt lying around.  So I got under the car on Saturday and undid the other side so I could go and buy some replacement at B &Q and the bolt snapped! Looked at the other side and that's what Mr T had done as well hence the cable tie!

I've now taken the rear plastic off and left it in the garage.   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Damn it, why do we tolerate sh*t service like this?  I know it's a simple thing but f*ng hell...

A cable tie instead of a screw.  Damn it.


Sorry, I just had a few too many arguments with Culvers Macclesfield; a totally useless garage that gives me the impression that would happily do something like that - or worse.  I hope the garage in Guildford is better...
