HI all,
Found a petrol leak at the front of the car. Inspection showed it was from ubder the cover that goes over the anti roll bar. Removed the cover (2 nuts and 2 allen bolts) and found two broken jubilee clips on the fuel pipe (right by the tank exit).
Replaced the jubilee clips, and then reposition the large cover plate.
Have replaced the two nuts, but CANNOT get the allen bolts back in. These attach the front of the anti roll bar rubber mounts to the car - VERY poor technical description - sorry.
Can I drive the car like this (am supposed to be doing the Carole Nash Cotswold rally tomorrow!), at least to the garage to have them replace the allen bolts, OR does anyone have any ideas of how to get the bolts back in.
I can get the bolt in, but it just turns - not biting on the thread.
Thanks
