the passenger side of my engine cover post is also broken, it would be nice to replace it with a new one, as I doubt it will glue back - I wonder if they can be 3D printed, or if possible to buy them ?

From your picture it looks like the 4 intake hoses have already been fitted with the upgraded ones, the front right doesn’t look to be on properly. |

Your powers of observation serve you well I have unscrewed them all ready to change to the silicon ones I bought in an earlier post. 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green |

After a short break away I return to carry on with my new sockets, but it is to no avail. These torx screws/bolts will not budge and if I put too much torque they will round off, as I noticed some gorilla has already done to one on other side.

Do you have an impact driver as it will break the thread bond without applying too much torque - shock vs brute force 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I had the same issue and decided not to risk it, and I left that bracket in place. There are nuts under the bracket that you can reach to release the doughnut. |

Get 2 nuts, run them down the thread, lock them together, then use the bottom one to remove the stud. G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999

I tried that but the stud was close to snapping so didn’t risk it.

If they are threaded into the head it will be galvanic corrosion not threadlock. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I liked this idea, I managed to remove one on the right but then two of the four throttle body bolts rounded off so I can't remove it for access. I expected a fight but not chocolate metal. I have lost my mole grips so I am considering the next plan of attack. I could Dremel notches and use a big screwdriver. It's too warm now in any case so time to chill and gather my thoughts. 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green |
