I've got a new thermostat waiting to go on, but the torx screws are so stuck they have broken all my tools...Yet another '5 minute job' turned bad.

I would look on ebay for the alloy.

Quite a few come up on there.

Good luck

Have you considered repairing the damaged one?

Would definitely cost less than £75.00 to mend.

I see.

I thought you had removed one, as it was damaged - sorry mate.

Try Salvo Group, as they often sell these too.
