I have the same kit Rich but in older packaging. Only thing it could do with is a new case as the clips have gone but your one has the better metal versions. I've done all the work on the Golf and my ERST with it :afro:

Thank you must be good if you have done all of your thousands of mods with it  :laugh: :afro:

Crazy.. Do they do toolkit insurance?

I dont have tool kit insurance. If anyone nicks anything Ill stick they're nuts in a vice and pop them....
If I loose or break anything I get it replaced like for like
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Decent quality for the money, I have some sets from this range, the only thing that broke on the 1/4" set was the case

Rich that Halfords Professional set is fine for working on a Mini. I bought my socket set about 14 years ago and it's still going strong with no problems at all. Standard use will not break it. Hitting it with a hammer generally just causes small nicks in the surface of the tools  :lipsrsealed:  :laugh:
