Tired getting the screw out on the 16v to change it with the one on the TD becuase its a little dodgy. It snapped...in two. So i've got the bit you turn with your fingers and about 0.75cm of the thread. I stuck my key in the hole where the rest should and it the key went in far enough to hit the front of the rad, (ie, the key went in about 1.5inches) Im not quite sure how the rest would have fallen in the rad, but it looks like it has...
Anyway, the TD screw didn't fit...thinking about it, that shouldnt' suprise me really...
Do 1.4's have the same screws? If not ill have to get one from ren tomorrow.

Cheers

depends on the 1.4 rad, some are 1/4 turn onlu efforts others are the screw in ones.

Ren only want 2 quid for the thing.
